Professor Eric Tsui

Chairman – IFIP 12.6 Working Group on Knowledge Management
Advisory Editorial Board Member – KM Research & Practice, Information & KM, Knowledge-Based Systems, In-Thought & Practice

Eric Tsui joined Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in 1989 after years of academic research in automated knowledge acquisition, natural language processing, case-based reasoning and knowledge engineering tools. His research was supported by grants and scholarships from Arthur Young, Rank Xerox, CSC, Graphic Directions, and the Australian Research Council. He was also a gratis visitor to Microsoft Research in February, 2000.

Since August 2000, he has taken up the role of Innovation Manager at Australian Mutual Provident (AMP). Eric is responsible for strategic research, knowledge brokering (between CSC and AMP), innovation management and university-industry collaborations.

His research interests are on the role of information technologies in supporting knowledge processes and communities, the interplay between Knowledge Management and E-Learning, and the applicable tools and skills for individual knowledge workers (as opposed to enterprise KM). As a recipient of CSC's Leading Edge Forum (LEF) Technology Grant in 2002, he carried out research into "Technologies for Personal and Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management" out of which the research report was one of the top 10 downloaded documents from www.csc.com in September, 2002. He has delivered numerous KM and Portals presentations and workshops in Asia, Australia and the US.

In his academic capacities, Eric has designed and delivered KM, AI, BPR, Portal, and MIS courses at the University of Sydney, University of Technology, Sydney, University of New South Wales, RMIT University, University of Kentucky, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and City University of Hong Kong. He is the program co-leader of a forthcoming master degree in Knowledge Management to be delivered in an online blended learning environment. He has B.Sc. (Hons.), PhD and MBA qualifications.

As the Professor of Knowledge Management at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Eric operates from two bases (Sydney and Hong Kong) and spends between 3 to 4 months per year in Asia.
