Biography

Hi, welcome to my homepage. I am currently a Principal AI scientist at Keystone AI where I lead a small team building cutting-edge AI-driven prediction and decision science for real-world business operations. Before joining Keystone, I was a Senior AI/ML Scientist in Forecasting Science team of Supply Chain Optimization Technology at Amazon, where I lead the team’s AI research and deployment of large-scale deep learning models for direct revenue-impacting supply chain demand forecasting. I started my career at Bloomberg as a quantitative analyst developing Cross-Asset Derivative Pricing products and also worked for Equity Option Trading desk at Morgan Stanley. I got my Ph.D. from Applied Math and Statistics Department of Johns Hopkins University.

I am a passionate researcher, builder and practitioner of real-world AI/ML models for problems such as Supply Chain Optimization and Quantitative Trading. My current research interests include

• Deep Learning architecture innovations for time series forecasting
• Time series foundation models
• Multimodal forecaster with LLM and time series
