Hi! Welcome to my website! I am Huiying Zhong, a Ph.D. student at the Operations Research Center, MIT. I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Ali Aouad and Prof. Thodoris Lykouris.

My research interests broadly lie in the interplay between human preferences/behavior and intelligent systems, with applications to the educational sector and digital platforms.

Prior to joining MIT, I graduated from School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University with a B.S. degree in Statistics. I grew up in Hunan, China.
