About Me

Hi there! I’m Ryan, a first-year Ph.D. student at Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Woody Zhu. My research lies at the intersection of Statistics and Operations Research (OR), with a focus on developing data-driven methods for real-world challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Information Systems Management from CMU and a B.B.A. in Supply Chain and Logistics Management from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen).

Outside of research, I’m an film photography enthusiast, a casual boulderer, and a table tennis player.
