Welcome!

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Management Science and Operations at London Business School, where I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Jérémie Gallien and Prof. Qi (George) Chen.

My research develops operational policies that improve fairness and efficiency in maternal and perinatal care delivery. It combines optimization, queueing theory, and statistical modeling, with applications across health systems in both low- and high-income countries. My recent work spans resource allocation in maternity waiting homes, the scheduling of elective Caesarean sections, and the deployment of portable AI ultrasound for antenatal care.

Field engagement is central to how I work. I collaborate closely with Liberia’s Ministry of Health and clinical partners in the NHS. I bridge rigorous models and field implementation, combining theory and data to develop tools that are used in practice by our field partners.

Prior to joining LBS, I received my B.S. in Information Management and Information Systems from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 2021.

I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market!
