| Biography |
Ah-Hwee Tan is an Associate Professor and the Division Head of Information Systems at the School of Computer Engineering (SCE), Nanyang Technological University. He has been a faculty member of SCE since 2003 and was the founding Director of Emerging Research Laboratory, a research center for incubating new interdisciplinary research initiatives. Prior to joining NTU, he was a Research Manager at the A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), spearheading the Text Mining and Intelligent Agents research programmes. His current research interests include intelligent agents, cognitive and neural systems, machine learning, knowledge discovery and text mining.
Prof. Tan received a Ph.D. in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University, a Bachelor of Science (First Class Honors) (1989) and a Master of Science (1991) in Computer and Information Science from the National University of Singapore . He is a recipient of Lim Soo Peng Book Prize, Asia Life Gold Medal, Cambridge Scholarship, Tan Kah Kee Young Inventor Award (Silver), NUS Overseas Graduates Scholarship, KRDL High Achiever Award, Optimal 2003 Gold Award, and Tan Chin Tuan Fellowship. He is an Editorial Board Member of Applied Intelligence published by Springer-Verlag, a Member of ACM, and a Senior Member of IEEE. |
