Qi Luo

Qi will join the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University as an Assistant Professor in January, 2021. He is actively looking for Ph.D. students with sound backgrounds in mathematical modeling and data analytics.

Research Interest

His research focuses on online decision-making in multi-agent systems, which arises in various applications in the new mobility ecosystem and supply chain management. Integrating knowledge in reinforcement learning, mechanism design, and online optimization can push the boundaries of each field and solve the unsolved problems.

News

Qi is in an organizing committee for Emerging Mobility Systems and Services Seminar Series, a prestigious research seminar for advanced transportation studies. The weekly seminar is free to register.

Qi’s joint work with Prof. Zhibin Chen (NYU Shanghai), Prof. Yafeng Yin (CEE U-M), and Prof. Romesh Saigal is reported on U-M Engineering Research News in 2020.
