About me

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Leeds School of Business at University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Prof. Dan Zhang. My research interests include revenue management and pricing, service operations, and supply chain management by applying methods such as stochastic modeling and data-driven optimization. Previously, I received my M.S. in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research from the Pennsylvania State University, and my B.S. in Mathematics from University of Science and Technology of China.
