Biography and Education

 Dr. Tongdan Jin is a professor of Industrial Engineering (IE) in the Ingram School of Engineering at Texas State University. He served as the IE program coordinator between 8/2018 and 8/2022. Prior to academia, he had 5-year reliability design and management experience in Teradyne Inc., Boston. His research is cross-disciplinary and resides at the interface of operations management, renewable energy, new product introduction, and supply chain sustainability. He is interested in tackling both fundamental and practical problems arising from manufacturing, services, transportation, energy, economics, and environmental sectors.

The research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Education, and Electric Power Research Institute with which over 50+ students have been supported. He has authored and co-authored over 180 technical articles published in refereed journals and conference proceedings. He is the author of the book “Reliability Engineering and Services” published by Wiley in 2019. He garnered several best paper awards, including the Evans-McElroy best paper in 2014 Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. Since 2018, he has been invited to review NSF CAREER proposal panelist between 2018 and 2022. He served as the associate editor of IISE Transactions from 2017 to 2021, and currently serves as a steering committee member of IEEE Intelligent Systems to Human-Aware Sustainability. He is the senior member of IEEE.
