Assistant Professor Zeyu Zheng
Zeyu Zheng recently earned a Ph.D. in management science and engineering and a Ph.D. minor in statistics from Stanford University. Previously, he earned a masters degree in economics from Stanford, and a B.S. in mathematics from Peking University. His research interests include simulation, data analytics, stochastic modeling, statistical learning and inference, and financial technologies.
2. Support more women in IEOR
In honor of Berkeley's 150 Years of Women at Berkeley, 150w campaign, the IEOR department is profiling some of our prestigious women professors, alumni, and staff. The department is currently comprised of 41% female students.
3. Help us grow!
We are currently supporting the most IEOR students in history! We now have 420 students in 2020, including 60 Ph.D., 20 master of science, 140 master of engineering, and 200 undergraduate students.
Your support will help us recruit and educate more students in IEOR.
4. Create more IEOR moments
Please donate today to help us continue the momentum! With your help, we know we can help students, faculty, staff, and alumni have more "Berkeley moments" to share in the future.
5. Help us produce more alumni that make an impact
With your help, we can recruit, educate, and train more students in industrial engineering & operations research, and produce more alumni with skills to thrive and lead in the 21st century economy.

6. Support more groundbreaking research
7. Support IEOR students
IEOR has a very active student group, the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) that the department supports to build community among undergraduate students. The department has helped the group send students to conferences, organize social events, alumni panels, and even organize conferences themselves to bring Bay Area operations researchers together to work on cases.
8. Help us foster more student-faculty connections
When students and faculty have the resources, space, and organization to connect, they both can benefit through more engaged learning, research collaborations, connections that can last a lifetime.
