I am a scientist working with Prof. Daniel Kuhn at the College of Management of Technology from EPFL and Prof. Andreas Krause at the Computer Science Department from ETH Zurich. Prior to that, I got my PhD in Operations Research from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Xin Chen and Prof. Niao He

My research interest lies in data-driven decision-making with problems arising from optimization, operations research, and data science. Specifically, I am interested in designing simple and efficient algorithms with provable guarantees for stochastic optimization, bandit and reinforcement learning. I am also interested in operations management like supply chain and revenue management. Recently, I start to interpret statistics problems as optimization and design efficient computational methods. 

I am always open to discussions! See Research for my research directions, Publication for my papers and Presentation for slides and posters.
