About Me
I am a scholar, a teacher, and a practitioner in data science and operations research. I have been an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at New York University Shanghai since August 2016. I am also affiliated with the operations management group at NYU Stern School of Business. In the 2021-2022 Academic Year, I am visiting the Department of Decision Sciences and Managerial Economics, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School as a Visiting Associate Professor. My research addresses fundamental operations issues under the emerging trends in technology, marketplaces, and society. I am particularly enthusiastic about developing data science methodologies (e.g., data-driven optimization, causal inference, and machine learning) to evaluate and optimize the operations strategies in the contexts of online platforms and marketplaces, sharing economy, and social networks, especially their recommendation, advertising, and pricing policies. My research works have been published in Management Science, Operations Research, and Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and recognized by various research awards of the INFORMS and POMS communities. My research projects have been funded by NSFC, SMEC, and STCSM.
