Jingwen Tang

Hi! I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Management at Miami Herbert Business School, University of Miami. Before joining the University of Miami, I earned my Ph.D. degree in Operations Research from the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Professor Cong Shi. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Tsinghua University. My current research interests lie broadly in learning algorithms and data-driven optimization. Specific topics include sequential decision-making under uncertainty and online and offline learning algorithms, especially their applications in supply chain management and revenue management.
