I am an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). My research interests focus on stochastic computer simulation, applied statistics and data analytics.

I get my Ph.D. from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University. My thesis focuses on input uncertainty analysis in stochastic simulation. Under the guidance of my advisors Professor Barry L. Nelson from Northwestern University (NU) and Professor Russell R. Barton from Pennsylvania State University, we have developed a metamodel-assisted bootstrapping approach and a Bayesian framework to quantify the impact of both input and simulation estimation uncertainty on the stochastic system performance estimation.

Besides research, I enjoy teaching and working with students. I worked as a teaching assistant for various classes, including introduction to probability, data mining and discrete-event system simulation, which provides me rich experience to interact with students with various backgrounds. Further, through attending the NU year-long teaching certificate program, I learned about how to design, deliver and evaluate a course.
