Biography

Dr. Tan Hee Beng Kuan received his B.Sc. (First Class Honours) in Mathematics in 1974 from the Nanyang University (Singapore). He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore in 1989 and 1996 respectively. He has thirteen years of experience in IT industry before moving to academic. His IT experiences include design and development of software systems, and management of software development projects. Currently, he is an Associate Professor with the Information Communication Institute of Singapore (ICIS) in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. Prior to joining ICIS, he was lecturing in the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science in the National University of Singapore. His research interest is in Software Engineering. Currently, his main research focus is on Software Testing and Analysis, and Software Size Estimation. Dr Tan has published in premier international software engineering journals and conferences including ACM Transactions on Software Engineering (TOSEM), IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE), ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) and ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE).
