Biography

I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Florida. My advisor is Dr. Yu Yang. I am a trained exact large-scale problem solver developer with a strong background in Operations Research.

My research interests are mainly devoted to discrete optimization related problems, with methodologies based on column generation, branch-price-and-cut, dynamic programming.  Particular attention has been put to the design and implementation of exact solver for vehicle routing problems. Current research considers using Machine Learning to accelerate the exact solver.
