I am a PhD student in Industrial Engineering at Penn State, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering. My research focuses primarily on analytics and data-driven modeling, with applications in healthcare operations, public health policy, and health informatics. I'm currently working on the opioid epidemic and transient ischemic attack care. One of the aspects of my work that I particularly enjoy is the opportunity to collaborate with domain experts from diverse academic backgrounds, including statistics, machine learning, health economics, geography, and public health, as well as professionals such as physicians and law enforcement officials. This collaborative approach has enriched my research and broadened my perspective. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy cooking and discovering hidden gem restaurants. My hometown is Beijing, China.

My name is Korrawee Henprasert. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. After working as structural engineer for a while, I got admitted as a student pilot for ThaiAirAsia airline and earned my aviation license. However, due to COVID-19, I got lay-off and decide to pursue a graduate degree in ORIE at Penn State University. I am passionate about analytical fields: optimization, simulation, and machine learning. I have gained hands-on experience in these areas through internships and research assistantships, utilizing tools such as Python, SQL, and R. My career goal is to work in the industry within the analytics field, and I aim to grow within an organization where I can make a significant impact for the greater good.

I am joining the Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM) at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) as an assistant professor starting from Fall 2024. I received my PhD degree in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Penn State in 2024 (with my PhD advisor Dr. Qiushi Chen), and my bachelor’s degree in IEEM and Computer Science from NTHU in 2016. My research mainly focuses on data-driven stochastic modeling and simulation to inform healthcare decision-making, particularly in the context of children’s developmental disorder screening policies. My career aspiration is to apply operations research methodologies to address critical challenges in healthcare, with a particular interest in assisting healthcare decision-making processes.
Graduated: 2024 Spring
I am a PhD student in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Penn State, where I also received my M.S. degree in 2024 under the guidance of Dr. Qiushi Chen. I received my B.S. degree in the Department of Industrial and System Engineering from Dongguk University in 2020. My research interests include data analysis, machine learning, and computational cognitive modeling. I have experience in data analysis in healthcare, particularly in understanding cancer drug development.
