Looking for good
postgraduate students and RAs …
Jimmy 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 read his MMath degree in Computer Science in
1988 also from Waterloo. Jimmy then moved to the University
of Victoria,
Jimmy is a Fellow of Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and a Co-opted member of the IT Division
Committee of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. He serves as a Convenor of the Standards Assurance Sub-Committee, Hong Kong ICT Awards.
He is also an appointed member on the Steering Committee on Strategic
Development of Information Technology in Education and the Steering Committee
on Selection, Quality Assurance and Review for the e-Textbook Market
Development Scheme, Education Bureau, Hong Kong SAR Government.
Besides being active in local community services, Jimmy is on the
editorial boards of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (AAAI Press), the CONSTRAINTS
journal (Springer), the Journal of Discrete Algorithms (Elsevier),
and Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced
Learning (World Scientific). He was a founding editor of the Constraint Programming Newsletter with Eric Monfroy and Toby Walsh. Jimmy was an elected member of the Executive Committee of the Association for Constraint Programming during 2006-09, and served as the
Secretary of the Association from 2006 to 2012. He is a Co-Chair of the Doctoral
Consortium and Senior Program Committee member of IJCAI 2013, a Senior Program Committee member of AI 2013, a Senior Program Committee member of the
Research Track and a Program Committee member of the Application Track of CP 2013, and a Program Committee member of AAAI 2013 and
GCCCE 2013.
Jimmy was the Program Chair of CP 2011, held in beautiful Perugia (see wonderful photos taken by Helmut Simonis) and organized by Stefano Bistarelli.
Jimmy considers himself a fairly athletic person. Besides being a mediocre table-tennis
and soccer player, Jimmy started long distance running in
year 2000 as a hobby to torture his body and clean up his soul (if there is
one). His immediate next goal is to
finish a full marathon under 4 hours (achieved his personal best of 4 hours 4
minutes 33 seconds painfully at
the 29eme Marathon International de Paris), although he is in semi-hibernation now. He also claimed the “Fastest Old Men” title (Staff Category) at the 2005 New Asia College Happy Run event (can you find me there?), dashing approximately 7.5K from the New Asia College to the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Together with his good and long-time partner, Ronald Chung,
Jimmy captured the 2nd Runners-Up in
the Men's Double Table-Tennis Event of the 2005 Hong Kong Teacher Tennis and Table-Tennis
Competition. In 2011, Jimmy reached
the peak of his totally-non-professional career by partnering with CC Ah Lung
to claim the championship in
the Men’s Double Event of the CUHK Staff Table-Tennis Tournament. Look at the “angry” player in action at the 2011 Hong Kong Teacher
Table-Tennis Competition, in which our CUHK team captured the team championship.
On the social side, Jimmy enjoys alcohol sampling (see the pretending connoisseur in action) and random rumbling. Jimmy is fortunate to have many good
friends and colleagues. Besides
being good companions to Jimmy in many activities, they care also about his spiritual behavior and purity with K.H. Wong presenting him the nice t-shirt. His good colleague, K.H. Lee, gave him a bottle of ultimate sports drink for marathoners (a.k.a. Chinese vodka) to ease his training pain.
Jimmy and his wife (and another friend) had the pleasure of taking this photo with Prof. Charles Kao and Mrs. Kao, 2009 Nobel Laureate in Physics, on March 27, 2009 (half a year before the prize was announced), at the
20th Anniversary dinner of the Chinese University Women’s
Organization (CUWO).
If you are bored, take a look at some of the quotes, jokes, and writings and proverbs
that Jimmy has collected over the years (some in Chinese). Please share this present
with all. Also, this Management Lesson would certainly benefit you for a lifetime. What is the truth in the corporate
world? It depends on the viewing angle. This amazing piece
relates coffee, coffee cups, and life (read it even if you don’t like
coffee). If you are male,
don’t miss this Cautionary Tale for Men (in Chinese) which teaches us all an important lesson. Everyone has parents, and everyone
should read this (in Chinese). We don’t want to be the cause of a heart-attack (in Chinese), do we? You
may change your personal philosophy after seeing this Tibetian Monks’ sand art (in Chinese). Are you upset
today? If so, read this (in Chinese). The commencement address by Steve Jobs at the
