I am actively pursuing full-time opportunities with my expertise in OR and ML. My sooniest date would be June 2024.

About me

I am a final-year Ph.D. Candidate in Transportation System Engineering (TSE) at The University of Alabama (UA), under the supervision of Dr. Xinwu Qian. Additionally, I work closely with Dr. Iman Dayarian on Operations Research (OR) topics.

At UA, I serve as a PhD Research Assistant at the Alabama Transportation Institute (ATI) and have contributed to several DOT projects, including public transit operation (see demo), campus bus electrification (see media release), and multi-mode transportation service (see demo).
