About Me

This is Zhi Wang (王植). I'm an Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at  the Department of Operations and Business Analytics at Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University. My research focuses on developing reliable AI solutions that are both analytically rigorous and empirically effective for addressing real-world operational challenges, especially in revenue management and consumer choice models. I apply tools from machine learning theory, data-driven optimization, and statistics to choice modeling, pricing, assortment, and e-commerce platform applications.

I was a Postdoctoral Fellow supervised by Professor Ming Hu at Rotman School of Management at University of Toronto and earned my PhD in Decision Science at the IROM department at McCombs School of Business, UT Austin, during which I have been very fortunate to be advised by Professor Rui Gao. I interned at Expedia Group in 2022 working on pricing and data simulation. Before that, I obtained my B.E. from SUTD in 2019, where I was awarded the IES Gold Medal Award for the top student in the department.
