Tonghua Lin

I am a researcher specializing in data-driven operations management. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Rutgers University, I integrate analytical modeling with empirical research to solve complex challenges in logistics and platform economy. My work spans from formulating Markov Decision Processes (MDP) for inventory control to applying econometric methods and Machine Learning on large-scale datasets to analyze labor supply and driver behaviors. I am passionate about bridging theoretical rigor with practical, data-backed solutions for real-world business problems. Core Competencies: Python, Gurobi, Machine Learning, Markov Decision Processes (MDP), Causal Inference, Stata. Status: Actively seeking Summer 2026 Internship opportunities in Logistics and Algorithm Design. Advisor: Weiwei Chen
