Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
Bio
I am a PhD student in the Department of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) at Stanford University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jose Blanchet. I am a member of the Stanford Operations Research Group.
Previously, I obtained a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Mathematics both from Peking University in 2017. My research interests lie broadly in applied probability, stochastic modeling and robust optimization.
In my spare time, I like outdoor activities, including hiking, marathons and triathlons. Besides these, I am a serious contract bridge player.
