I obtained my Ph.D. in Management Science from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2024, with a CSC-sponsored visit at the University of Toronto. I then worked as a postdoc at the University of Hong Kong.
I am now a Non-tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Management Science at the School of Management, USTC.
I study OM–Marketing interfaces with a focus on AI-driven decision making, with research interests in algorithmic hiring, behavior economics, information design, product design, and channel management.
I am in touch with pengxf@ustc.edu.cn or pengxf@mail.ustc.edu.cn. Great Thanks and Best Wishes!
