Leyuan Shi is a Chinese-American industrial engineer, and a professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] Her research focuses on the modeling, simulation, and optimization of large-scale systems for smart manufacturing, supply chains, and communications.[1][2]
Education and career
editShi studied mathematics at Nanjing Normal University, graduating in 1982. After a second master's degree in applied mathematics in 1985 from Tsinghua University, she went to Harvard University for continued study in applied mathematics. She earned a second master's degree there in 1990, and completed her Ph.D. in 1992.[1] Her doctoral dissertation, Optimization of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems, was supervised by Yu-Chi Ho.[3]
After joining the University of Wisconsin, Shi founded a spinoff company in 1995 named LS Optimal.[2] In 2010 she took a leave from Wisconsin to join the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at Peking University.[4] In 2020 she was named as director of Wisconsin's Center for Quick Response Manufacturing.[5]
