Portrait of Xiaoyu Fan

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Operations Management at NYU Stern School of Business, where I am advised by Professor Zhengyuan Zhou. Before joining NYU Stern, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Information and Computational Science from Nanjing University Mathematics Department.

I develop learning methods that turn limited and evolving data into effective sequential decisions. My research combines reinforcement learning, stochastic modeling, and optimization to address problems in inventory control, revenue management and large language models, with an emphasis on data efficiency and reliable decision-making.

I am on the 2026-2027 job market!
