Kang Hao Cheong
Associate Professor, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences & School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University
Assistant Dean (Continuing Education and Training), College of Science, NTU
Associate Professor Kang Hao Cheong holds a joint appointment at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, within the Division of Mathematical Sciences at NTU's School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) and the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS). He recently assumed the role of Assistant Dean (Continuing Education and Training) at the College of Science.
Trained as a theoretical and computational scientist, his research primarily explores the interdisciplinary applications of mathematical sciences, particularly focusing on the dynamics of complex systems. His notable work on Parrondo's games exemplifies how disadvantageous strategies across various domains can lead to beneficial outcomes. He employs stochastic processes, statistical analysis, and computational simulations to investigate counterintuitive behaviours in diverse systems, including physical, social, biological, and computing systems. His research interests also extend to AI applications in the medical, healthcare, and education domains.
He currently serves on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, the Journal of Computational Science, Computers in Biology and Medicine, Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, and Contemporary Mathematics and Games. He is listed among the top 0.5% of researchers in Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing in the Stanford University-Elsevier study (Top 2% Scientists) for 2021–2024 (single-year category) and 2024 (career-long category). As an advisor to the publisher World Scientific, Dr Cheong provides strategic guidance to enhance their publishing operations and adapt to the evolving academic landscape.
