I received my Ph.D. degree in operations research from Columbia University in 2006 under Prof. Donald Goldfarb. Before joining Alibaba US in 2019, I was a Professor in the Department of Mathematics, University of California, Los Angeles. During 2006–2013, I was with the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University.
I won the NSF CAREER award in 2008, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in 2009, a Morningside Gold Medal in 2016, a DAMO Award in 2021, and INFORMS Egon Balas Prize in 2021. I have had eight papers co-authored with my students and collaborators that have received the best-paper-kind awards. Since 2018 I have been among the top 1% cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics.
My research interests include explainable and controllable decision models, computational optimization algorithms and software, and their applications in signal processing, machine learning, and other data science problems.
The Lab is DAMO Academy of Alibaba Group. My colleagues in the lab conduct R&D and services in broad areas of decision intelligence. Our R&D covers optimization solvers, time-series products, and controllable decision model-based solutions.
