Assistant Professor
Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Welcome! I am Zhuodong Tang, an assistant professor at Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Before joining Antai, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, under the guidance of Prof. Izak Duenyas and Prof. Stefanus Jasin. I received my Ph.D. degree in 2022 from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Decision Analytics, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Guillermo Gallego. Before my Ph.D. journey, I received my Bachelor's degree in Automation from Zhejiang University in 2017.
My research focuses on developing novel discrete choice models and solving revenue management problems such as assortment optimization and pricing under the choice model. I am also interested in data-driven operations management (OM) models that unite the predictive power of machine learning and business insights of OM models. My research collaborates with leading industrial companies, including Hewlett Packard and Sabre Airline.
