          Education:  

·        Defended Ph.D dissertation in November 2008 in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.

·        Obtained Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering at University of Pittsburgh in December 2006.

·        Obtained BE in Automation at the University of Science and Technology of China in July 2004.

·        Obtained BS in Management Science at the University of Science and Technology of China in July 2003.


     Research:

·        Methodology: Operations Research; Mathematical Programming, such as, Linear Programming, Nonlinear Programming, Integer Programming, Markov Decision Processes; Game theory; Probability Analysis and Statistics.

·        Application: Environmental Economics Analysis, Closed-loop Supply Chain Systems, Product Lifecycle Analysis, Reverse Logistics, Green Manufacturing, Sustainable Agriculture, and Natural Resource Conservation.


Teaching:

·        In spring 2009, I am teaching ENGR 160 (Engineering Problems with Computer Applications) for the IMSE department at Iowa State University.

·        I was a course co-instructor for the Study abroad program Plus 3 China in summer 2007. This program is jointed developed by the School of Engineering and the College of Business Administration at University of Pittsburgh. The Plus 3 program won the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education in 2005.

·        During my graduate study, I have been teaching assistant, lab instructor, plant tour coordinator for 6 times for Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
