About Me

 I am Shaochong Lin, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Data and Systems Engineering (DASE) 數據與系統工程系 at the University of Hong Kong. My primary research involves data-driven Operations Management, synergies between AI and Operations Research, and their applications in real-world problems in Smart Supply Chains, Smart Transportation, Smart Retailing, and Smart Scheduling. I proactively cooperate with industry companies and solve research problems motivated by practice.

I received my Ph.D. from Dept. of Decision Analytics and Operations (DAO), Business School, City University of Hong Kong, where I was advised by Prof. Youhua (Frank) Chen. I was a visiting student researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, UC Berkeley (2019-2020). I was a Research Assistant Professor at the DASE Dept. at HKU (Jun 2023- July 2025).

I have been working with Prof. Zuo-Jun Max Shen at HKU since Nov 2021 and having a research group with weekly group meetings at HKU.
