Biography
Xuefeng Gao received his B.S. in Mathematics from Peking University, China in 2008, and his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA in 2013. His research interests include Algorithmic Trading and Financial Engineering, Queueing Theory, and Stochastic Processes. His work has been selected as Finalist in the 2011 INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group (JFIG) paper competition. During summer 2011 and 2012, he worked as a research intern in the Business Analytics and Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in New York.
