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 research interests lie in operations research and mathematical optimisation, particularly in developing efficient models and algorithms for complex planning and scheduling problems.

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.
