Yimo Yan
Assistant Professor
PhD, The University of Hong Kong, China
My research focuses on data analytics, optimization, and sequential decision-making methods for transportation, logistics, and supply chain systems. I am particularly interested in integrating learning and operations research approaches to improve efficiency and service quality in urban mobility, supply chain and healthcare operations. My work has been published in leading journals including Information Fusion, Transportation Research Part series, International Journal of Production Research, and Health Care Management Science. I received my Ph.D. from The University of Hong Kong, where I was advised by Prof. Yong-Hong Kuo. Collaboration is welcomed.
