I am an Assistant Professor of Decisions, Operations and Technology at CUHK.I received my PhD in Operations Management from UT Dallas. I hold a B.Sc. in Thermal Engineering from Tsinghua University.
My research seeks to provide rigorous theoretical understanding and clean prescription (e.g.,algorithmic design principles) for problems grounded in real-world applications. I am a fast learner of sophisticated and useful new mathematical methodologies whenever the need arises.I am also highly dedicated and proficient in developing novel analytical methods/arguments from first principles and existing methodologies.
Recently, I have been working on Stochastic, Dynamic On-Demand Platforms, especially those in the presence of Spatial Vehicle Routing; examples include, ride hailing, food delivery, etc. In contrast to the prevailing literature, which oftentimes involves some stylization of the vehicle-routing aspect of the underlying system for analytical tractability, we directly study the actual spatial setting; along the way, we establish novel analytical frameworks/methods and algorithm design principles with clear managerial implications for such spatial systems.
In addition, I am proficient in Causal Inference. In my recent paper on online platforms, we draw methodological inspiration from graph-based Causal Inference, and solve an open question on Dynamic Information Design posed in a recent paper published on Management Science.
