Professor Lee Luong

Lee Luong is Head of the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering since 2000, and a member of the Executive Committee of the University of South Australia’s Research Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies (ISST).

Lee has had extensive experience in teaching, research and academic development within the tertiary sector as well as with industry. Prior to joining the University of South Australia, he worked for more than ten years outside the academic environment, including the mining industry, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO).

Lee is one of a few pioneers in the applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques in engineering with research and PhD programs in the areas of Logistics and Supply Chain, Cellular and Flexible Manufacturing Systems, and Sustainable Product Design and Manufacture.

Lee has an extensive list of publications in international journals and conferences with ten book chapters, forty-five journal articles and more than one hundred refereed papers in international conferences. He was the Asia-Pacific Editor of the International Journal of Robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing for five years and currently on its Editorial Board.
