About me
I am a Postdoctoral Principal Researcher in Operations Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, working with Baris Ata.
I received my Ph.D. in Data Science in 2025 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ), where I was very grateful to be supervised by Xinyun Chen and very fortunate to work with Jim Dai. Previously, I received my B.Eng. in Communication Engineering from Nanjing University in 2020.
My research focuses on understanding and controlling congestion in stochastic networks. I develop tractable approximations and mathematical foundations for analyzing network performance, particularly when systems operate near capacity. I also use diffusion approximations and computational methods to design scheduling, routing, and admission-control policies.

Working papers
Functional Limits of Generalized Jackson Networks in Multi-scale Heavy Traffic
Establishes functional limits for generalized Jackson networks in multiscale heavy traffic, characterizing asymptotic independence across scales and the dependence of limiting dynamics on initial conditions.
Journal articles
Asymptotic product-form steady-state distribution for semimartingale reflecting Brownian motion in multi-scaling regime
Establishes a product-form limit with independent exponential components for scaled SRBM steady-state distributions in a multiscaling regime, verifying the required moment bounds for several classes of reflection matrices.
Uniform moment bounds for generalized Jackson networks in multiscale heavy traffic
Establishes uniform moment bounds for scaled steady-state queue lengths in generalized Jackson networks under multiscale heavy traffic, verifying the moment state-space-collapse condition needed for product-form stationary limits.
Conference proceedings
CCEval: Accurately and Confidently Evaluating Performance Metrics of Congestion Control Algorithms for Datacenter Networks
Develops a framework for evaluating datacenter congestion-control algorithms using confidence intervals and trial-count prediction, with importance sampling to improve the efficiency of tail-quantile estimation.
Steady-State Convergence of the Continuous-Time Routing System with General Distributions in Heavy Traffic
Establishes heavy-traffic steady-state limits for join-the-shortest-queue and power-of-two-choices routing with general interarrival and service-time distributions, proving convergence of scaled queue lengths to a common exponential limit.
Tail Quantile Estimation for Non-Preemptive Priority Queues
Develops a regenerative simulation algorithm with importance sampling to estimate tail quantiles of steady-state sojourn times in non-preemptive priority queues, with a central limit theorem supporting confidence intervals.
A High-Fidelity, Machine-Learning Enhanced Queueing Network Simulation Model for Hospital Ultrasound Operations
Develops and validates a queueing-network simulation model for hospital ultrasound operations, with two-level patient routing calibrated using machine learning to improve predictions of queue lengths and waiting-time distributions.
