Dr. Wenjun Zhou joined the UT’s Department of Statistics, Operations and Management Science after earning her Ph.D. in Management from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

Prior to obtaining her Ph.D., Wenjun worked as a summer research intern at IBM Research Center at Almaden, Yahoo! Labs, Panasonic Inc., and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
