Jimmy Ho-Man Lee graduated on the Dean's Honours List with an Honours BMath degree, majoring both in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1987. He obtained his MMath degree in Computer Science in 1988 also from Waterloo. Jimmy then moved to the University of Victoria, Canada, and completed his doctoral study in 1992 under the supervision of Maarten van Emden in the area of constraint logic programming. During his graduate studies, he was involved in research projects funded by IBM (Canada) and the Canadian Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems. Upon graduation, Jimmy returned to Hong Kong and joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he is now a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Jimmy's research focuses on the theory and practice of constraint satisfaction and optimization with applications in combinatorial optimization, scheduling, and resource allocation. In particular, he is interested in problem modeling, stochastic local search, symmetry breaking, global constraints, and over-constrained problems. Together with Irwin King, Jimmy leads the development of the world’s first plagiarism detection and assignment management system, CUPIDE, supporting both the Chinese and English languages. In recent years, he also conducts research on novel Web-based learning platforms and accompanying pedagogies, particularly in the design and development of educational games (take a look at Tong Pak Fu and Chou Heung: the Probabilistic Fantasy, Farmtasia, and Learning Villages). He has also assumed Associate Directorship (Research and Development) at the Centre for the Advancement of Information Technology in Education (CAITE) under the umbrella of the Hong Kong Institute of Educational Research, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Inspired by his many former good teachers from elementary school to universities, Jimmy received the Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award in 2005 and the Faculty of Engineering Exemplary Teaching Award for the academic years 1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01, 2002-03, and 2004-05. He was also recognized for his outstanding service with the Faculty of Engineering Faculty Service Award for 2003-04.
Jimmy is on the editorial board of the Journal of Discrete Algorithms, Elsevier. He co-edits the Constraint Programming Newsletter with Eric Monfroy and Toby Walsh. Jimmy is an elected member of the Executive Committee of the Association for Constraint Programming, and is currently serving as the Secretary of the Association.
