Wenbo Sun, Ph.D.
I am a research faculty at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) and an affiliated faculty at the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS).
I earned my Ph.D. in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan, advised by Professor Judy Jin and Matthew Plumlee. I am interested in methodological research that utilizes artificial intelligence for uncertainty quantification and decision making in engineering applications. I am also interested in collaborating with domain experts to solve data-driven problems.
