Research Focus
I am an operations researcher focused on advancing the theory and methodology of data-driven optimization under uncertainty with computationally efficient algorithms to enhance the overall performance, robustness, and resilience of the system configuration. My recent research interests include: (1) predicting community disaster preparedness via machine learning models; (2) enhancing the resilience of humanitarian relief network design and equity in relief resource allocation via data-driven optimization; (3) improving coordination of humanitarian relief supply chain with option contract.

Current Projects
  • A Machine Learning and Simulation-Based Framework for Disaster Preparedness Prediction Using Multi-Source Data
  • Integrated Supplier Selection, Scheduling, and Routing Problem for Perishable Products under Uncertainty
  • Enhancing Equity in Disaster Response: Public Satisfaction-Driven Allocation of Relief Resources
  • A Two-Stage Chance-Constrained Distributionally Robust Optimization Model for Humanitarian Relief Network Design
