I’m a Ph.D. student in Operations Research within the Department of Management Science & Engineering (MS&E) at [Stanford University](https://www.stanford.edu/). I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. [Jose Blanchet](https://web.stanford.edu/~jblanche/) (MS&E) and Prof. [Mert Pilanci](https://stanford.edu/~pilanci/) (Electrical Engineering). I am also grateful to be supported by the Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Science and Engineering, generously sponsored by the Koret Foundation.
As part of my Ph.D., I recently completed a co-enrolled M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Control & Optimization. Prior to Stanford, I earned a dual B.A. in Mathematics and Statistics from Columbia College, Columbia University, graduating *summa cum laude* with honors from both departments.Erica Zhangyz4232@stanford.eduFuture Blog Post2199-01-01T00:00:00+00:002199-01-01T00:00:00+00:00https://ericavanee.github.io/posts/2012/08/future-postThis post will show up by default.
