Relevant Experience

Thesis Title  

Taxi Planning of George Bush International Airport (IAH) Using a MILP Method

•  Analyzed the taxi time data using linear regression analysis and forecasted the future air traffic in SAS.
•  Proposed a Mixed Integer Programming model to solve the taxi planning problem at IAH.
•  Programmed and solved the model using C++ and ILOG CPLEX.
•  Adopted a rolling horizon method and reduced the taxi time significantly.

 G.R.A

Project 1:

• Formulated a mixed integer linear programming model to decide the  optimal production rate, to choose the best suppliers for each raw material and to find out the best amount transported to each store.
• Solved the model using AMPL and CPLEX.
• Developed a one-month production and market plan with deterministic market demand.
• Studied the effect of changing demand on the optimal solutions.

Project 2:

• Proposed a model for warehousing with information of market demand, transportation mode, labor cost and customer service.
• Implemented the model using ArcGIS and roadway information of Texas pulling from Bureau of Transportation statistics.
• Identified the optimal number, location and size of warehouse.

Taxiway Aircraft Traffic Scheduling Using the George Bush  

          International Airport Data

Objective: The objective is to assign the routes of taxiing with minimum total taxi time for the safety operations.

Model: The airport ground network is denoted as G(V,E). V is a set of vertex, which represents the gates, runway thresholds, runway exits, taxiway intersections. E is a set of edge, which represents the taxiways and edges connecting the vertexes. Given the origin node and destination node of the departure and arrival aircraft, the problem is to assign optimal routes for taxiing with minimum total taxi time. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is used.

Life in the United States and China

Life in the United States (Aug 2009-Present):

I started my study in Texas A&M University since Aug 2009. Life was not easy at first because everything is different from China. However, I got used to the life here very fast. I really enjoy travelling. I went to New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando. Some of the pictures are shown below.
