About me

Hi! I am Mo Liu, a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at the University of California, Berkeley. I am advised by Zuo-Jun (Max) Shen. I am also fortunate to work with Paul Grigas. Prior to joining Berkeley, I received my B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2019.

Research Interest

My research interests include data-driven decision-making and machine learning (specifically statistical learning and active learning), with applications in operations management. I am particularly interested in decision-focused learning, a methodology that designs and trains prediction models to account for decision-making in downstream optimization problems. These downstream problems include real-world applications in revenue management, such as product recommendation, assortment optimization and inventory management.

• Methodologies: Statistical learning, active learning, decision-focused learning.

• Applied Area: Revenue management, pricing, supply chain management.

🎉 I will join the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at UNC Chapel Hill in the fall of 2024 as an assistant professor.
