Jiawei Guo

Jiawei Guo is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Carolina and previously received his M.S. from the University of Southern California.

Dr. Guo’s research focuses on developing advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies for unsupervised anomaly detection, multimodal representation learning, and edge-deployable deep learning systems. His work aims to bridge fundamental machine learning research with real-world engineering applications, with primary emphasis on health monitoring, intelligent transportation systems, and industrial defect inspection. His recent research includes transformer-based time-series anomaly detection, memory-augmented visual anomaly segmentation, lightweight railroad inspection frameworks, and label-efficient learning methods for predictive maintenance and remaining useful life estimation.

 
Shabnam Salehi
Shabnam Salehi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University, where she works with Dr. Andrew Goldberg. She received her Ph.D. in Operations Management from the Culverhouse College of Business at The University of Alabama. Prior to that, she earned both her B.S. and M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology, Iran.
 
Her doctoral research focused on optimizing perishable inventory management in grocery retail operations, with a particular emphasis on reducing food waste. Her research interests lie in the application of operations research, optimization, machine learning, and data analytics to real-world problems. She is particularly interested in applying optimization methods, including Markov decision processes (MDPs), stochastic dynamic programming (SDP), and mathematical modeling, to challenges in retail operations, food bank supply chains, and sustainability, with the broader goal of minimizing food waste.
