Overview
Zihao Wang is currently a PhD Candidate at Cardiff Business School in the Logistics and Operations Management (LOM) section. He is also a member of Data Lab for Social Good Research Group (DL4SG).
He holds a BSc in logistics management (Cross-cultivation) from Beijing Jiaotong University and Beijing Wuzi University, China. He earned an MSc in Logistics and Operations Management from Cardiff University. During his Master’s studies, he participated in a live project with the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, NHS Wales, focused on 'Patient Flow Forecasting/Modeling within the Major Trauma Network (MTN) Wales'.
His PhD research topic is an extension of this project, which further focused on investigating the intermediate outcome of the operations in the South Wales Trauma Network (SWTN).
