Professor Joneja obtained his BTech in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur (India). He studied Industrial Engineering at Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana, USA), where he received his MSIE (1989) and PhD (1993). He subsequently joined the Department of Industrial Engineering and Decision Analytics at HKUST as a Professor.
Profesor Joneja's focus of research is the automation of process planning, with an emphasis on design representations and planning methods. He is interested in CAD/CAM issues related to manufacturing planning in areas such as machining, rapid prototyping, or mechanical assembly. His interests in problem-solving methods include a host of tools ranging from search strategies and heuristics to computational geometry and geometric reasoning. He is also involved in the automation of assembly, and design of devices for rapid turnaround assembly systems.
