Zhichao Jia

I am a PhD student at Operations Research, Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Guanghui (George) Lan. Previously, I received my master's degree from Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Johns Hopkins University, where I was advised by Benjamin Grimmer. I was also fortunate to collaborate with James C. Spall and Nicolas Loizou during my master's studies.
