About me
🎓 I am currently pursuing a PhD in the Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies at the Faculty of Business, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). I hold a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (2026) and a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering (2023), both from Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT).
🏆 Throughout my academic journey, I have published 5 papers in leading international journals, received 11 scholarships, secured 11 invention patents, and won 19 competition awards. I was also honored as an Outstanding Graduate of GDUT.
🌐 Beyond academia, I actively share study notes and technical insights on the Chinese Software Developer Network (CSDN). My blog has attracted 24k+ followers, 5.8M+ reads, 18k+ favorites, and 87k+ shares, allowing me to engage with a broader technical community, provide practical solutions, and promote knowledge sharing.
👥 I am passionate about collaborating on challenging projects at the intersection of operations research, discrete optimization, algorithms, and real-world applications. If you are working on complex problems or cutting-edge solutions where I may be able to contribute, let us connect and create something meaningful together!
Research interests
Mixed-integer programming, column generation, branch-and-price, Benders decomposition, exact methods for large-scale combinatorial models.
Operations Research
One- and two-dimensional bin packing (cutting stock) and knapsack problems, together with important variants—for example, guillotine constraints, priority constraints, fragile items, circular containers, and related settings.
Packing & Cutting
Exact algorithms, Approximation algorithms, metaheuristics, learning-augmented algorithms, problem-specific data structures and search strategies.
