Meet the Department Reps!
[A person holding a teddy bear  Description automatically generated] Lily Liu / Operations Research
Please tell us about your research interests. I’m currently working on maximizing technology adoption through farmers’ social networks. In general, I’m interested in Operations Research for social good with applications in public policy, and behavioral operations.
Who is your favorite womxn from history or the present times, and why? My fellow Cornellian, RBG is my role model. She not only had a super successful career and fought for gender equality, but also had a balanced relationship with her husband Marty.
What do you like about being a gwaMIT Rep? As a first-year PhD student, being the gwaMIT department rep is a great opportunity for me to get connected with both students in my department and other womxn’s groups in other departments at MIT.
