Kai Sun, Ph.D.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Department of Management Science and Statistics housed in Alvarez College of Business at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in Department of Anesthesiology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHealthSA).
I am on the job market for tenure-track faculty positions starting Fall 2024.
My primary research interests center around decision support for real-world problems in healthcare and service systems via the development and application of
(a) Data-driven optimization
(b) Graph-based models and algorithms
(c) Multi-objective optimization
(d) Data analytics and machine learning
The examples of the applications includes:
(1) In healthcare: operating rooms and intensive care units management, data-driven patient and clinician scheduling;
(2) In product development and manufacturing: process planning and scheduling, product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, product-service manufacturing systems.
I received Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Syracuse University in 2020 and 2015, respectively. I received a B.E. in Automotive Engineering from Hefei University of Technology in 2013.
