Biodata:

DR. WONG WAI PENG, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer and Lead Operations Management Research Cluster in the School of Management, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). She completed her Bachelor of Computer/Electronics Engineering, with a first class honours from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 1998. Soon Dr. Wong proceeded to work in the industry for seven years as a product engineer during which she also obtained her MBA from USM in 2002. As a result of her successful industry career and academic achievements, Dr. Wong was granted a USM fellowship and successfully completed her studies in the University of Singapore in 2009. Her PhD research was in Industrial and Systems Engineering focusing on supply chain performance measurement using data envelopment analysis (DEA).

Dr. Wong supervises PhD and MA students. Her research areas are in operations management (manufacturing and services); information systems management; and supply chain management involving green, sustainability, logistics, cross-functional, innovation, quality, capabilities, efficiency, effectiveness, optimization, and performance measurements. In addition to the basic and applied (hypotheses testing) PhD and MA research, Dr. Wong is also skilful and enthusiastic about stochastic modelling such as DEA and optimization. Consequently, students under her supervision could choose from a broader spectrum of research methodology. This mix of applied management research and mathematical methodologies is uniquely transdisciplinary and has expanded her research horizons and output. Today, Dr. Wong has published numerous articles in ISI impact factor and reputable international journals to her credit. She has no less than 40 publications worthy of at least 400 citations. Her continuing research achievements have made her a recipient of the Australia Executive Fellowship (2015) and the Sumitomo Grant for Japan-Related Research Projects (2016). Such awards continue to motivate and support Dr. Wong Wai Peng to seek new frontiers of knowledge and she welcomes like-minded research students. Dr. Wong Wai Peng teaches operations management, management science, supply chain management and information technology.
