Hi there, I'm Bo Lin. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management at the National University of Singapore. I am also affiliated with the Institute of Operations Research and Analytics and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology. I'm interested in AI for sustainable cities. I develop predictive and prescriptive analytics tools to assess, design, and help people interact with urban systems in a sustainable way. Motivated by practical challenges encountered in real-world deployment, the other line of my research focuses on integrating machine learning and optimization, aiming to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and applicability of data-driven decision-making tools. My research has been recognized by several awards, including INFORMS George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award, INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award, INFORMS Daniel H. Wagner Prize (Finalist), INFORMS TSL Best Student Paper Award, CORS Practice Prize, among many others.
Open positions I'm actively recruiting PhD students. Please feel free to share your CV, transcripts, and a short description of your research interests via email. Prospective postdocs and undergraduate RAs are also welcome to reach out.
