About me
I am an Assistant Professor at the Pennsylvania State University in the the Supply Chain & Information Systems Department (SCIS) since
September 2025. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Research and Analytics from National
University of Singapore (NUS), advised by Professor Joel Goh and Professor
Yifan Feng. My research
interests lie in operations management within public healthcare, focusing on areas such as
the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and improving the quality of life for
aging populations. I am also interested about data analysis, particularly in leveraging
adaptive experimentation to collect data more efficiently and enhance healthcare
decision-making.
