Prof. Zizhuo Wang is a Professor and Associate Dean (Education) at the School of Data Science. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2007, and his Ph.D. degree in Operations Research from Stanford University in 2012. Prior to joining CUHK-Shenzhen, he was an Associate Professor (with tenure) in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

His research interests mainly focus on optimization and stochastic modeling, especially with applications to pricing and revenue management. In optimization, he has made several contributions to the literature of online learning. In revenue management, he has done works in the area of consumer choice modeling and data-driven pricing and marketing . He has published over 50 papers in top journal in the field of operations research and management science, and has been the Associate Editors or Senior Editors for the top journals such as Management Science, Operations Research, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management and Production and Operations Management. His research has been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States and other funding agencies, with a total amount of over 10M RMB.

Zizhuo Wang has extensive experiences in applying operations research methods in industry. He has participated in projects with IBM, Seagate, American Express in the US, and has been a quantitative research at the Wall Street. In 2016, he co-founded Cardinal Operations with others, which served over 100 enterprises (including JD.com, SF Express, Didi, Huawei, China Southern Airlines) to provide data-driven decision support service and products.
