About Me

Hello, I am Chengju Liang (梁程炬), a Transportation PhD candidate at Beijing Jiaotong University. I work on operations research, logistics systems, and AI Agent applications. More plainly, I spend a lot of time trying to turn messy logistics problems into models that can be checked, tested, and explained.

I am still very much learning. My code, my models, and sometimes my research taste all need debugging. If you work on logistics optimization, intelligent decision systems, or agentic workflows, I would be happy to learn from you and exchange ideas. Senior researchers are especially welcome; I promise to bring questions, coffee-level curiosity, and a healthy respect for reality.

Research and Application Interests

My current work follows a small loop that I keep returning to:

  • Scenario. Understand the logistics process before writing equations.
  • Model. Express the main constraints without pretending the real world is clean.
  • Algorithm. Test whether the model can actually produce usable decisions.
  • Agent. Explore how tool use and state tracking can help humans search, compare, and validate options.

It is not a grand theory yet. It is the way I am learning to connect operations research with practical logistics intelligence: vehicle routing, electric logistics fleets, dynamic scheduling, robust optimization, candidate explanation, and result validation.

A small boundary note: materials on this homepage are intentionally public-safe. Please do not reuse my private photos, resume files, unpublished documents, enterprise materials, screenshots, credentials, or project details without my permission. I am happy to share more context in a proper interview or collaboration setting, but GitHub is not the place for private data. Forked or external-code repositories are references, not original flagship projects.
