About Xinyi MA

I’m Maggie from HKU. In high school, I won 1st prize in mathematical paper writing and ability tests. I chose statistics as my first major in college and learned probability theory. I also master linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and Python. I’m pretty interested in supply chains and optimization strategies. I wish to pursue a doctoral degree and make a difference in the world by estimating and optimizing strategies in life. Undergraduate research is an important chance to explore my interests and learn more about this field.
