I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM) at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC). During January 2013- June 2015, I conducted research as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering (ISE) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and in the meantime served as the instructor of regular IE and the Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE) courses. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering in December 2012 from the same department, where I had been advised by Professor Jong-Shi Pang since August 2008. During this period, I was supported by research assistantship and once had a summer internship with Wolverine Trading, LLC., Chicago, to participate in the project about solving a (business secret) allocation problem with variables of the special order set for the company in 2010. Before entering the Department of ISE, I received my M.S. degree with a thesis from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at UIUC. My M.S. thesis adviser was Professor Diego Klabjan, with whom I worked on large-scale integer programming problems of the airline scheduling. Prior to that, I was exposed to intelligent transportation systems and completed a B.S. thesis related to the estimated time of arrival systems of smart bus under the supervision of Professor S. K. Jason Chang in the Department of Civil Engineering, National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan.
