About me

Welcome to my personal website!

I am Yu Nu, a final-year PhD candidate in the Operations, Technology, and Information Management (OTIM) division of SC Johnson College of Business at Cornell Tech, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Karan Girotra (Chair), Prof. Elena Belavina (Co-chair), and Prof. Meng Qi. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Management Science & Engineering from Wuhan University, China.

My research interests lie at the interface of sustainability, AI, and operations. I am particularly passionate about exploring how AI-based technologies can transform food waste management within commercial kitchens. Also, I integrate advanced data-driven analytics and insights into human-AI interaction to pioneer innovative solutions for effectively managing perishable inventory systems. I use full stack of data tools, including causal inference analyses, machine learning techniques, data-driven optimization strategies, and experiments.

I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market.
