I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student 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 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 cloud computing, content moderation, and humanitarian immigrations. In the Summer of 2024, I was a research scientist intern with Central Applied Science at Meta, developing data-driven scheduling and measurement algorithms for content moderation.
