About

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Data Science at CUHK-Shenzhen. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia Business School. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Research from Cornell University and my B.S. in Mathematics from Yuanpei College, Peking University.

Research

My research is in Operations Research, with interests at the intersection of economics, theoretical computer science, and statistics. I study sequential decision-making under uncertainty, online resource allocation, dynamic matching, and algorithmic/mechanism design questions that arise in platforms and marketplaces.
