Dr Man Hang Yip
Academic Collaborator
Man Hang Yip (Yip) joined IfM in October 2010 as a part-time PhD student in the Centre for Technology Management under the supervision of David Probert and Rob Phaal. She obtained her PhD in July 2015, with the dissertation titled “Healthcare product-service system characterisation - implications for design”. Her research interest was in developing methods to characterise product-service system (PSS) for integrating stakeholders and environmental concerns in the engineering design process. Yip is currently collaborating with CTM to explore the generalisability and applicability of the PSS characterisation scheme developed in her PhD research.
Research Interests
- System typologies for engineering design
- Stakeholder identification and influence in the engineering design process
- Integration of environmental / contextual concerns in engineering design
- Relationships between stakeholder engagement in the engineering design process and system typologies
- System representation for design
- Industry applications of research-based technology management tools
Background
Yip has over 15 years of professional experience as an operations excellence expert in various multinational manufacturers in the UK and China, and as a management consultant for companies in North Asia, Greater China and South East Asia. Before her PhD, Yip holds a Bachelor of Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), a Master of Engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, U.S.A., and an MBA (IT Management) from the HKUST. She is a Chartered Engineer and a certified lean six sigma Black Belt.
