Welcome!
I am Hanqi (pronounced Hahn-chee), a Ph.D. candidate at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Izak Duenyas and Joline Uichanco.
I am broadly interested in operations management problems inspired by real-world observations. My research currently centers on the following streams:
- Design of Fast-Iterative Products and Services: studying how firms design products and services whose performance evolves through feedback, learning, and continuous improvement. Examples include agile product development and AI model iteration.
- E-commerce Platform and Fulfillment Design: studying how platforms design and manage emerging fulfillment practices under incentive misalignment in e-commerce marketplaces. Examples include inventory commingling and fulfillment regionalization.
I mainly employ analytical methodologies such as dynamic programming and game theory to study these problems and generate managerial insights.
Before joining Ross, I received a Master’s degree in Management Science from Peking University and a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Tsinghua University.
I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market. [CV]
