About

I am an assistant professor at Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS). Before joining PHBS, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, working with Prof. Sheng Liu. Prior to that, I served as a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where I benefited greatly from the mentorship of Prof. Long He and especially Prof. Melvyn Sim. I earned my Ph.D. in Operations Research at NUS under the guidance of Prof. Xiaobo Li and Prof. Andrew Lim.

My research is dedicated to two fields: (1) data-driven management of supply chain and logistics, encompassing both foundational and emerging business models such as the last-mile problem; and (2) analytics for social good, which targets essential issues like system robustness, social well-being, and sustainability.
