Profile

I am a Research Associate in the Analytics, Technology and Operations Department at Leeds University Business School. I am also completing my PhD in Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, where my doctoral research focuses on railway scheduling and optimisation.

I hold an MEng in Transportation Planning and Management and dual bachelor's degrees in Transportation and Finance from Southwest Jiaotong University, China.

I am currently working on a project led by Professor Antonino Sgalambro, in collaboration with Sheffield City Council, implementing a spatial decision-support system to optimise Household Waste Recycling Centre networks.

Research interests

My work includes railway operations, freight logistics, network optimisation. I am particularly interested in applying optimisation techniques to real-world decision-making, improving operational efficiency and resource utilisation.
