Chao Attends Kluwer’s Scientific Roundtable in Amsterdam

Dr.Chao

Dr. Xiuli Chao, professor of industrial engineering and operations research at North Carolina State University, was one of seven scientists worldwide invited to attend a scientific roundtable hosted by Kluwer Academic Publishers, a leading science and engineering publisher.

The roundtable, held March 30 in Amsterdam, brought together scientists with expertise ranging from philosophy and law to mathematics and engineering to discuss their views on how publishers could better serve the scientific community. Topics ranged from the publisher’s image and interaction with the scientific community to issues surrounding new (online) publishing methods, such as open access versus for-profit models of distribution of scientific information and copyright and royalty policies.

Chao received his Ph.D. in industrial engineering from Columbia University in 1989, and joined the faculty at NC State in 2000.
