About

I am a non-tenured associate professor in International Institute of Finance, School of Management, University of Science and Technology of China. I received my Ph.D. in Management Sceience and B.Eng. in Industrial Engineering from Tsinghua University. I visited Sloan School of Management, MIT and Krannert School of Management, Purdue University in 2016 and 2019, respectively. My current research involves consumer choice modeling, data-driven supply chain management, and operations research in energy interface. This line of research has been recognized with the finalist of 2018 INFORMS Franz Edelman Award, and 2018 POMS Emerging Economies Doctoral Students Award.
