On the 2025-2026 academic job market
I am a rising fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at MIT EECS where I am fortunate to be co-advised by Daniel Freund and Thodoris Lykouris in the OM group of MIT Sloan. I obtained a B.E. in Computer Science in 2021 from Yao Class, Tsinghua University.
My research optimizes decision-making processes in service operations, with applications to content moderation and humanitarian immigration. In the Summer of 2024, I was a research scientist intern with Central Applied Science at Meta, developing queue prioritization and measurement algorithms for content moderation.
