معرفی
Dr. Tieming Liu is an Associate Professor in the School of Industrial Engineering and Management at Oklahoma State University, where he has served since 2005, first as Assistant Professor and then promoted to Associate Professor in 2011. His expertise bridges operations research, supply-chain coordination, healthcare analytics, renewable-energy policy, and production scheduling.
Education
- Ph.D. in Transportation and Logistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005
- M.S. in Industrial Engineering and Management Science, Northwestern University, 2001
- M.S. in Control Theory and Control Engineering, Tsinghua University, 2000
- B.S. in Control Theory and Control Engineering, Tsinghua University, 1997
Research Interests
Dr. Liu’s scholarship is organized around three pillars:
- Supply-Chain & Logistics: coordination contracts, inventory bounds, responsive pricing, channel rebates, and production flexibility under uncertainty.
- Healthcare Analytics: machine-learning models for diabetic retinopathy and sepsis risk prediction, clinical decision-support systems, and handling imbalanced EHR data.
- Energy & Sustainability: renewable portfolio standards, capacity coordination with renewable energy certificates, and incentive mechanisms for renewable and conventional generators.
Recent methodological contributions include hidden Markov models for continuous mortality prediction, tree-augmented Bayesian networks for sepsis risk, and tensor-completion-driven convolutional networks for longitudinal medical data.
