Neil Y. Yen received his doctorates in human sciences at Waseda University, Japan, and in engineering at Tamkang University, Taiwan, in 2012. His doctorate in Waseda University was funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) under RONPAKU program. He has served as an associate professor at the University of Aizu, Fukushima, Japan, since April 2012. He has been engaged in the interdisciplinary research domains including computer science and engineering, information management, and human informatics. His research interests are primarily in computational intelligence and its applications. Both theoretical and practical issues are concerned including (1) hybrid intelligence for information retrieval, management, and optimization; (2) awareness systems for human-centered support; and (3) social network analysis. Yen has been actively involved in the research community by serving as the guest co-editor of the WWW Journal, International Journal of Computational Intelligence, Journal of Supercomputing and Cluster Computing: the Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications; as an associate editor of Human-Centric Computing and Information Sciences, International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering, and several journals related to his research area; as a reviewer for technical journals/transactions; and as an organizer/chair of IEEE/ACM international conferences and workshops. His recent publications can be found on refereed international journals/conferences, including 3 on ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, and the WWW Journal. He is now a member of IEEE Computer Society, IEEE System, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and technical committee of awareness computing (IEEE SMC).
