Full Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

Dr. Zeng’s research interest is mainly on statistical modeling and analysis of complex production and service systems, with specific focus on three types of problems, i.e., performance/quality measurement, monitoring and diagnosis. The goal is to characterize baseline system performance, detect changes and identify root causes for changes. She has applied her methodologies to various complex systems including manufacturing systems such as automobile assembly processes and nanocomposite fabrication processes, and health delivery systems such as cardiac surgeries.

Professional Activities

Dr. Zeng is a member of Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), and Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE).
