Future master students in IEM Department, Yuan Ze University
If you are interested in collaborating with me on a research project for your thesis, you should have some coding experience—preferably in C++—and a basic understanding of mixed-integer programming models (as covered in the Operations Research course at the undergraduate level). If you meet these criteria, please feel free to send me an email to schedule an appointment for further discussion.
Future PhD students in IEM Department, Yuan Ze University
If you would like to collaborate with me on a research project, you should have a good background in coding—preferably in C++—along with experience in developing mixed-integer programming models and metaheuristics or exact algorithms. If you meet these criteria, please send me an email to arrange an appointment. If your master’s or bachelor’s thesis is not related to this topic, I may provide a challenge (e.g., implementing a metaheuristic to solve a specific optimization problem) to assess your readiness for the collaboration.
In addition, please familiarize yourself with this list of journals (link) before reaching out to me. Our target is to conduct research that can be published in journals categorized under "Production and Operations Management" or "Transportation Management" as provided in the list.
