Welcome!

I am Hansheng, an Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Statistics at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, and a faculty affiliate at the School of Cities.

My research centers around AI-powered and data-driven decision-making under uncertainty, with a keen interest in sustainability, logistics, supply chains, and revenue management.

Before joining the University of Toronto, I earned my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from the University of California, Berkeley, advised by Max Shen and Aditya Guntuboyina. Prior to Berkeley, I received my B.S. in Mathematics from USTC.
