Dr Chai Kah-Hin is an associate professor at the Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) Department, National University of Singapore (NUS), and is also the Director of Continuing and Education Training at the Faculty of Engineering. He received his PhD degree from Cambridge University and had worked in management consulting and semiconductor manufacturing before joining the academia. His research work appears in journals such as Energy Policy, Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal of Product Innovation Management, and IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management. His current research interests include energy efficiency and management, and product/service innovation. He serves on several national committees related to ISO 50001 and energy management, and as an external examiner for the Singapore Certified Energy Manager (SCEM) Programme. Recently he completed research projects related to the maritime innovation ecosystem and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in international shipping, funded by the Singapore Maritime Institute.
