He obtained his PhD degree from the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia in Canada in 2006. His main research area is transport economics which covers issues such as competition policy and government regulation, efficiency benchmarking, transport demand modelling and industrial organisation. Most of Dr Fu's studies are related to the aviation industry and the maritime industry. Xiaowen has provided advisory and economic modelling services to organisations such as the Boeing Commercial Aircrafts, New Zealand Commerce Commission, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Australian Competition Tribunal, Civil Aviation Administration of China, Hong Kong Central Policy Unit and Japan Rail (East).
