Ph.D. Candidate
Address: 5 Zhongguancun South, Beijing, 100081, China |
I received the B.Eng. degree with honors in Automation from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), Beijing, China, in 2021. I once studied Electrical & Computer Engineering in University of Washington (UW), Seattle, USA, in 2019. I am currently pursing the Ph.D. degree with the National Key Lab of Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Systems, BIT, Beijing, China.
My current research interests include operations research and machine learning for solving complex real-world systems under uncertainty. I have authored 9 high-quality Research Papers in the field of operations research, optimization, machine learning, and their applications in facility location, routing problems, spatial analysis and optimization. I have applied or been issued 10 C.N. Patents. I participate in research projects exceeds ¥ 30,000,000 supported by National Natural Science Foundations of China (NSFC), National Key Research and Development Program of China, etc.
I have been invited to serve as the Reviewers for several high-quality journals and international conferences. I also serve as the Editor-in-Chief of Transportation & Logistics Section since 2023 in one of the largest Operations Research communities [运筹OR帷幄] in China. We are currently having more than 800,000 subscribers. Besides, I was the concertmaster of BIT Student Symphony Orchestra founded in 2000. I served as the head of this wonderful orchestra in 2020. Tutti!
