Cheng Haoran is a PhD student in Control Science and Engineering at Northeastern University, Shenyang, China. His research stay at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca takes place within the framework of the China Scholarship Council (CSC), under the Innovative Talent International Cooperation Training Program – Intelligent Industrial Data Analytics and Optimization.
During his visit at TUCN, from February 25, 2026 to February 25, 2027, he is affiliated with AIRi@UTCN and works under the supervision of Prof. Lucian Bușoniu, Department of Automation, Faculty of Automation and Computer Science.
His thesis/research topic is Data analytics-based optimization and game-theoretic methods for production and energy scheduling in intelligent industrial systems.
At his home university, Cheng Haoran is affiliated with the National Frontiers Science Center for Industrial Intelligence and Systems Optimization, the Key Laboratory of Data Analytics and Optimization for Smart Industry, Ministry of Education, and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
His research focuses on the theory, methods, and applications of industrial intelligence and systems optimization. His areas of interest include data analytics and machine learning, reinforcement learning, integer and combinatorial optimization, game theory, industrial energy allocation optimization, and coordinated production-energy optimization.
During his research stay at TUCN, his current work involves integrating planning methods with machine learning techniques to enhance the efficiency of integer optimization algorithms. The aim is to develop AI-driven approaches for effectively solving large-scale coordinated production and energy scheduling problems in industrial settings.
