Xiaoqi Yang (杨晓琪)

Professor Yang received his BSc degree in Mathematics from the Chongqing Jianzhu University, Chongqing, a MSc degree in Operations Research and Control Theory from the Institute of System Science at Chinese Academy of Science, China and a PhD degree in Applied Mathematics at University of New South Wales, Australia. He then spent five years at the School of Mathematics and Statistics in the University of Western Australia as a Research Associate (1994-1996), an Australian Research Council postdoctoral fellow (1997) and a lecturer (1998). Since 1999 he has been with the Department of Applied Mathematics, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, as an Assistant Professor (1999-2001), Associate Professor (2002-2004), Professor (2005- ). In 2000 he received the ISI Citation Classic for the paper "The vector complementary problem and its equivalences with the weak minimal element in ordered spaces", Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Vol. 153 (1990) pp. 136-158. In 2006 he received The First Prize of Natural Science from the Chongqing Municipal Government. In 2000 and 2017 he received the President's Award for Outstanding Performance / Achievement in the category of Research and Scholarly Activities, Hong Kong Polytechnic University respectively.
