Abstract of Research and Education

My main field of research is public utility management, particularly in networked infrastructure industries such as transport, water supply and sewerage, energy, and information and communications. My research topics include public-private partnerships (PPP), sustainability and resilience, productivity and efficiency, and governance in these industries.

For the undergraduate programme, I teach Public Utilities Management. For the PhD programme, I teach Microeconomics, which includes the foundations of microeconomics at the doctoral level as one of the core courses of the programme.
