    Hello everyone, my name is Ruijie Shan, and you can call me Jerry. I am very excited to join and become a member of this vibrant INFORMS community.

    First of all, I would like to introduce my academic background and internship experiences to you, so that you can better understand me.

    I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Business Analytics at the University of California, Davis. I hope that through my studies at Davis, I can better engage in business and quantitative analysis in the future and realize my personal goals and values.

    Regarding internship experience, I have completed three internships, at internet and securities companies. As my internship experience deepens step by step, I have also established my career goal of becoming a business analyst in the future. I aspire to utilize my professional knowledge to make the best business decisions and make significant progress in the future.

    After briefly introducing my background, I would like to discuss the areas of analysis I am most interested in learning about and discussing within the INFORMS community, specifically machine learning models and data analytics. This is because during a recent internship project at Angel Flight West Company, I was responsible for cleaning and processing duplicate data. I realized that combining machine learning models with data analysis greatly improves efficiency and accuracy. This experience motivated me to further explore these areas within the INFORMS community, and I look forward to discussing them with others who share similar interests.

    Overall,I am very excited to learn from everyone and contribute to insightful discussions. If you are interested in machine learning, data analysis, or have other ideas to share, please feel free to contact me through the INFORMS community. Let’s connect, learn, and grow together!
