I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the MIT Operations Research Center. I have the pleasure of being co-advised by Professor James Orlin and Professor David Simchi-Levi.
I am interning at Microsoft Research AI (Redmond) in summer 2020, but working remotely because of the pandemic.
Prior to coming to MIT, I finished my undergrad at New York University (Courant Institute) and NYU Shanghai, with double majors in Honors Mathematics, and Interactive Media Arts. In 2014, my friends and I organized the largest international college hackathon in China, the inaugural HackShanghai. I was also a Legal Summer Intern at Citibank China Headquarters in Shanghai. I was a Quantitative Researcher intern at D.E. Shaw this summer.
My current research interests lie broadly in online algorithms, machine learning and data-driven supply chain optimization. I am working on online resource allocation with reusable products at this time. My research interests and past works also include statistical learning, reinforcement learning and online learning.
I like mathematics and arts. I also care a lot about air pollution, technology and entrepreneurship.
