Mengxin Wang

I am an Assistant Professor at the Naveen Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas. 

I completed my Ph.D. in the IEOR Department at UC Berkeley. Before that, I received a B.Eng. in Industrial Engineering at Tsinghua University. During my Ph.D., I also worked as a Data Science Intern on the Uber Eats Marketplace team. 

My research centers on data-driven decision-making, integrating methodologies from statistical learning and optimization.  My current research examines how advances in AI can be translated into operational value, by addressing two complementary streams of research: (1) rectifying AI-generated data to align with human ground truth and (2) designing human-in-the-loop AI systems for operational value. Beyond these, I study (3) broader problems in data-driven decision making, including consumer choice analysis and dynamic resource allocation.
