Dr. Sivakumar is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore and a Faculty Fellow of Singapore - Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) Alliance (SMA-MST programme). He was at Gintic Institute of
Manufacturing Technology, Singapore prior to this appointment. He has many
years of industrial and research experience in the UK prior to the post in
Singapore in 1993. He received a Bachelors of Engineering in Manufacturing
Systems Engineering and a PhD in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from
University of Bradford, UK. He has made many contributions at international
conferences and journals (over 48 international journal papers and over 66
international conference proceedings papers, one Book on Management Research
Methodology). He has trained and supervised a number of PhD students (7
graduated PhD students) and many Master’s level students. He leads a
research group in Operations Research which focuses on the area of in
Manufacturing Systems and Health Systems. Dr. Sivakumar Currently he serves
as the Director of the NTU Undergraduate Research Experience on CAmpus
(URECA) programme (http://www.ntu.edu.sg/ureca/). Dr.
Sivakumar was formerly the Associate Chair Graduate Studies School at the
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, NTU from 2009-2012 and the Chairman
of the school’s Engineering Innovation and Design (EID) programme from
2002-2008.
