Biography

 I am a scientist with Prof. Daniel Kuhn at the College of Management of Technology from EPFL and Prof. Andreas Krause at the Computer Science Department from ETH Zurich. Prior to that, I got my PhD in Operations Research from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Xin Chen and Prof. Niao He. My research interest lies in data-driven decision-making with problems arising from optimization, operations research, and data science. Specifically, I am interested in designing simple and efficient algorithms for stochastic optimization, robust learning, bandit and reinforcement learning with provable guarantees. I am also interested in operations management like supply chain and revenue management. See Research for research directions and Publication for papers.
