梁美兒

博士（麻省理工學院）

文學士（英國牛津大學）

理學學士（哈佛大學拉德克利夫學院）

梁教授的研究領域主要包括組合優化和物流學。她對公共運輸調度、供應商選擇、物料運輸、路由和分配計劃、設施布局、生產調度和時間表制定的相關問題也深有研究。梁教授在多所周刊發表過文章，其中包括Mathematical Programming、Management Science、Operations Research、IIE Transactions、Discrete Optimization、Journal of Combinatorial Optimization、INFOR、IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation、OR Letters、Discrete Applied Mathematics等等。她的研究更得到了香港研究資助局和美國國家科學基金會的肯定。

梁美兒教授在歐洲日報的物流運輸（2011）、運輸科學（2009）、工業工程師協會彙刊（2001）、計算機與運籌學研究（2005）和海軍物流研究（2001）擔任編輯委員。梁教授是運籌學和管理學研究協會的資深會員，曾於2002年擔任管理科學或運籌學女性論壇的董事長，2000至2004年期間擔任學生事務委員會的主席。在2011年墨爾本舉辦的19屆IFORS會議中，梁教授擔任了科學項目主席一職。

此外，梁教授也與多家香港公司合作，協助完成集裝箱管理、倉庫庫存系統、大規模運輸時間制定和人力規劃的項目。2014年，梁美兒教授被選為香港物流及運輸協會院士，同時被任命為香港物流發展局成員。
