About

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Systems Engineering & Engineering Management at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xuefeng Gao. I am also fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Ningyuan Chen at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

My research lies at the intersection of operations and machine learning, with a focus on decision-making under uncertainty in modern operational systems. I develop novel learning algorithms to address challenges arising in operational decision problems and, in turn, use operations research methods to better design and understand learning systems.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I received my M.S. in Probability and Mathematical Statistics (2022) and B.S. in Statistics (2019) from the Department of Mathematics at Nanjing University.

I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market!
