About Me

Hello! Welcome to my website! I am an associate professor (untenured) at Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I received my Ph.D. in 2019 from the Quantitative Methods at Mitch Daniels School of Business, Purdue University, where I was advised by Professor Mohit Tawarmalani.

My research interests are in mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), including theory, algorithms, computation and applications. I am particularly interested in developing convexification techniques and efficient algorithms for solving MINLPs. Recently, I am also interested in using ideas from MINLP to improve decision-making in operations involving consumer choice behavior and in data science.

Here is my SJTU webpage in Chinese.
