What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time position that fosters innovation in optimization and operations research.

I am a dedicated researcher with a Ph.D. in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering from Florida State University, where I maintain a perfect GPA of 4.0. My academic journey has been enriched by my experiences at The University of Hong Kong and Wuhan University of Science and Technology, where I honed my skills in industrial engineering and logistics management.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with industry leaders such as IT Curves and American Airlines, developing innovative algorithms that have significantly improved operational efficiencies. My work has led to over 15% cost reductions in real-world applications, saving millions annually. I am passionate about applying advanced methodologies in operations research and machine learning to solve complex problems in transportation and logistics.
