Hooded, Dr. Zhikun Lu—our brilliant rising star in the OM field! Over the past four years of his PhD journey at Emory University - Goizueta Business School, Zhikun’s research has garnered numerous accolades. For example, his paper on promising delivery speed (published in MSOM during his second year) was a finalist for the 2023 MSOM Student Paper Competition—one of the most prestigious awards for doctoral students in our field; and his paper on last-mile delivery (major revision at Management Science) won in the Service Operations best student paper and Supply Chain Management best student paper. Zhikun has been my go-to expert for all things data-driven, from econometrics and causal inference to structural estimation, and I’ve learned so much from working with him. This July, Professor Zhikun Lu will be joining New York University Shanghai campus as an Assistant Professor. Wishing him all the best in this exciting new chapter!
Cheering you on, Ruomeng

Congrats Zhikun! Great job Ruomeng for advising such a brilliant student and future faculty to strengthen the research in the space!
