Post-doc Fellows

Dr. Tao FENG, Ph.D. in Transportation Planning and Management from Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), Feb 2024 - August 2025
- Dr. Feng is currently an Assistant Professor at SWJTU. During his time at PolyU LMS, we collaborated on two research projects on decision-making under uncertainty, with applications in humanitarian logistics and urban rail operations. The former is currently under review at Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, while the latter is under major revision at the INFORMS Journal on Computing.
Dr. Zhen CAO (Ph.D. in Port, Coastal and Offshore Engineering from Dalian University of Technology), Mar 2024 - Feb 2026
- During Dr. Cao’s first two years at PolyU LMS, we collaborated on several projects centered on bulk terminal operations optimization, an important yet underexplored area in the maritime transportation. This collaboration resulted in a comprehensive and, to our knowledge, first-of-its-kind literature review on dry bulk terminal operations, as well as a study addressing key challenges in berth allocation; both papers were published in Transportation Research Part C. Dr. Cao has also tackled practical challenges related to flexible commodity blending, with the corresponding paper currently under major revision at Transportation Research Part B. In addition, we have several ongoing working papers and look forward to further collaboration.
