Welcome to my page!

About me

I am Jing Peng, an Assistant Professor at the School of Public Affairs, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).

I was a postdoctoral fellow advised by Prof. Ming Hu at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, from Oct. 2022 to Oct. 2023. I was also a visiting student advised by Prof. Ming Hu from Mar. 2018 to May 2019.

I received my PhD in Management Science from the School of Management, USTC (from Sep. 2016 to July 2020). 

I feel very fortunate to have collaborated with Prof. Ming Hu and Prof. Ruxian Wang at the Carey Business School, John Hopkins University.

My research interest lies in social operations management, revenue management and pricing, operations management and marketing interface.

I teach Game Theory at the School of Public Affairs, USTC, and review journals such as EJOR, TRE, Omega, IJPE, JORS, etc.

I have co-supervised three PhD candidates, a graduate student and an undergraduate student at the School of Management, USTC.
