Angel Tsai-Hsuan Chung

I am a third-year PhD student in Operations, Information, and Decisions at Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hamsa Bastani.

My research is centered on developing and deploying machine learning (ML) algorithms and optimization for data-driven decision-making, particularly in the fields of healthcare, education, and social good initiatives.

My ongoing works focus on the use of large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning for education and global health, partnering with schools, hospitals, and governments across the globe. I am passionate about working with practitioners and policymakers to transform socially impactful research into real-world solutions.

Previously, I worked with the Asian Development Bank and in a national government legislature. I hold dual master’s degrees in Statistics and International Educational Development from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as dual bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Sociology from National Chengchi University.
