Bethany M.Y. Chan

B.A., M.S.(UC San Diego); Ph.D.(HK)

HONORARY SENIOR LECTURER

Dr. Chan has taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (1981-82), The University of Hong Kong (1982-87) and the University of Texas at Dallas (1987-90). She has also worked as an investment analyst in James Capel Asia (1990-92), Worldsec International Limited (1992-99) and UBS Warburg (1999-2001). She has been holding honorary position in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of Hong Kong since 1990. She is currently writing a book - fiction.

She has refereed for a number of journals including the SIAM Journal on Computing, SIAM Journal of Discrete Mathematics, Journal of the ACM, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. She has also refereed for various international conferences. She acted as Session Chair in the Fourth Conference on Hypercube, Concurrent Computers and Applications held in Monterey, California in 1989 and was a member of the Program Committee of the Second IEEE Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing in 1990. She was invited to attend an exclusive workshop on Graph Embedding and Parallel Architectures supported by DIMACS in 1992.

Dr. Chan's academic research publications have been in the algorithms area. Her more significant contributions have been for embedding various graphs in faulty and nonfaulty hypercubes and hypercube-derivative networks. She has supervised over fifteen master projects. One Ph.D. student has graduated under her supervision.
