Tinghan (Joe) Ye, a PhD student in industrial and systems engineering at Georgia Tech, shares his research on large scale decision making under uncertainty. He is a member of AI4OPT and is advised by Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck, the A. Russell Chandler III Chair and professor at Georgia Tech and director of AI4OPT and Tech AI. Ye’s work addresses real world challenges in smart transit and e-commerce logistics through AI-driven optimization.

In one application, Ye models an integrated smart transit system for Savannah, Georgia, coordinating fixed-route buses, on-demand shuttles, and paratransit vehicles to improve service coverage and efficiency. His research also tackles large-scale order fulfillment in e-commerce, optimizing delivery from warehouses and stores to customers across a dynamic and uncertain network.
