Dr. Yong Zeng professor of Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE) is an interdisciplinary, fundamental research, R&D learning institute, housing state-of-the-art research in wide range of information systems engineering areas, including information systems security, quality system engineering, communication software engineering, data mining, bioinformatics, digital forensics, embedded systems engineering, electronics, multimedia, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and building and construction management. He holds Canada Research Chair in Design Science. Dr. Zeng's research aims at developing robust software tools to enhance the quality and efficiency of innovative product development in manufacturing companies. The foundation of these tools is the formal design science he has developed based on the recursive logic of design he proposed with his collaborator in 1991.
His research includes design process modeling, requirements engineering, design knowledge representation, surface reconstruction, as well as finite element modeling. He has applied his research results to some industry projects, such as intelligent sketching interface for product conceptual design, integrated CAD/FEM radar analysis system, etc. Dr. Zeng and his team are currently exploring the applications of their software tools to manufacturing industry such as aerospace engineering, automotive engineering and biomedical devices manufacturing. Dr. Zeng published numerous technical papers in design science and design applications.
