Zhao Kang
Doctoral Candidate at TU Eindhoven
I am a Ph.D. candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology, currently a visiting scholar at NYU Stern School of Business. With a deep passion for applying operations research to supply chain optimization, my journey has been marked by fruitful collaborations with prestigious firms like ASML, KLM, and Mobike. I aspire to bridge the gap between operations research theory and practical implementation, ultimately bringing tangible benefits to a wider audience.
