About Me
I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My research interest focuses on developing and employing operations research tools, including network modeling, optimization, and equilibrium, to understand and enhance transportation systems. I believe transportation serves as a microcosm for understanding the world, and my initial motivation for pursuing operations research is to make a difference to the world.
