Biography

Danqi Luo is an Assistant Professor in the Innovation, Technology, and Operations (ITO) area at the Rady School of Management at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Her research is focused on understanding healthcare delivery systems, specifically the behaviors of patients and physicians, to provide data-driven actionable insights that help healthcare participants maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of their decisions. Danqi employs techniques from operations, causal inference, and machine learning on large-scale data and utilizes field experiments in her work. Notably, during her Ph.D. studies, she examined the delays imposed on low-acuity patients compared to high-acuity patients who require immediate medical treatment. One of her significant contributions includes the development of an online wait time provision system that utilizes machine learning to process patients' electronic medical data, which has been successfully implemented at the San Mateo Medical Center. Danqi holds a Ph.D. in Operations, Information, and Technology from Stanford Graduate School of Business and has earned Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Physics from Bryn Mawr College.
