Dan Li

 

 

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Automation Department of Tsinghua University in China and majored in Control Science and Engineering as well as Enterprise Information Systems and Engineering.

 

I am currently a member of the Computational Optimization Research at Lehigh (COR@L) Laboratory. My research areas are in optimization, complexity theory, mathematical modeling, and high performance computing. My thesis advisor is Dr. Tamás Terlaky. I am also interested in supply chain and revenue management, business modeling and analysis, applied optimization, and operations management.
