About

Welcome to my homepage! I am a third-year Ph.D. student at MIT EECS where I am fortunate to be co-advised by Daniel Freund and Thodoris Lykouris in OM group of MIT Sloan. I obtained my bachelor degree from Yao Class, Tsinghua University. My Ph.D. research is supported in part by a MIT Jacobs Presidential Fellowship. 


My recent research explores the potential of data-driven stochastic control to address complex allocation challenges, with applications in diverse areas such as scheduling within queueing networks, and ensuring efficient, yet fair, refugee resettlement.


I was fortunate to visit Prof. Weina Wang at CMU in the Summer of 2019, and Prof. R. Srikant at UIUC in the Spring of 2020. In the Fall of 2022, I was a visiting student at the Simons Institute for the Data-Driven Decision Processes program.
