I’m currently a Research Associate with School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I will join Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) as an Assistant Professor in April 2023. I was a Research Associate with the Singtel Cognitive and Artificial Intelligence Lab for Enterprises (SCALE@NTU). I received the Ph.D degree from School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, the M.Eng degree from Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China, and the B.Eng degree from Wuyi University, Jiangmen, China.

Research Interests

My main interests concentrate on deep (reinforcement) learning, combinatorial optimization and integer programming. I am currently devoted to the learning for optimization field, especially the neural combinatorial optimization topic, with the aim to explore deep learning based methods to solve combinatorial optimization problems, including vehicle routing, airport ground handling, on-demand delivery with UAV, and integer programs. It is promising to exploit deep learning in real-world optimization and decision making, with the power of data.

• Artificial Intelligence: Deep Reinforcement Learning, Graph Neural Network, VAEs & GANs
• Operations Research: Heuristic Search, (Stochastic) Integer Programming, Multi-Objective Optimization
• Applications: Transportation, Scheduling, Airport Ground Handling, On-demand Delivery

Feel free to get in touch if you’re interested in a collaboration.
