About
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Public Impact Analytics Science Lab (PIAS-Lab), Harvard University, where I work with Prof. Soroush Saghafian. My research focuses on healthcare operations management, leveraging large language models, machine learning, empirical econometrics, and laboratory experiments to address operational challenges in healthcare.
I received my Ph.D. from the Naveen Jindal School of Management at The University of Texas at Dallas, where I was advised by Prof. Guihua Wang and Prof. Elena Katok. Prior to my doctoral studies, I earned a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and both a B.S.E. and an M.S. in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan.
