Ye Liu 

Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management 

 

While pursuing a Ph.D., Ye Liu co-published research on an unusual topic: hog farming—solving some of the operational issues using foundations of supply chain management. She will continue this research at Whitman, as well as other interests related to AI, risk management, commodity markets and supply chain finance with analytical and data-driven methodologies, such as stochastic optimization, machine learning and deep reinforcement learning. Liu says one of the reasons she was drawn to Whitman was because of the number of women on the faculty who lead research, something she intends to do herself. Liu has a Ph.D. in supply chain, operations and technology from Washington University in St. Louis and holds a bachelor’s degree in supply chain management from Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing.
