Assistant Professor,
Industrial Systems Engineering & Management,
National University of Singapore.
Hi! I am an assistant professor at the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering & Management, the National University of Singapore. I received my PhD in Operations Research from the Operations Research Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, supervised by Prof David Simchi-Levi. More about me in my CV.
My research interests are online learning and resource allocation, which lie in the intersection of Operations Research (OR) and Machine Learning (ML). See Selected Works below, and Research Interest.
News
(May 2026) 1 paper accepted to ICML 2026. We studied how (possibly bias) offline data helps reinforcement learning, even when we do not know the magnitude of the bias. Congratulations Lixing and Jiashuo!
(May 2026) I will serve as a Committee Member for the INFORMS George Nicholson Student Paper Competition 2026.
(April 2026) 1 paper accepted to the INFORMS Journal of Computing. We studied how to use (possibly biased) online prediction in an online lead time quotation setting. Congratulations Tianming!
(April 2026) I will serve as a Area Chair for NeurIPS 2026.
