About
Hi! I'm Chelsea — an Industrial Engineer at Applied Materials focused on semiconductor manufacturing logistics and warehouse automation. I build tools and data pipelines that help operations run smoothly and improve efficiency.
I hold an M.S. in Operations Research from UT Austin and a B.S. in Financial Statistics from CUHK-Shenzhen. Outside of work, you'll find me hiking around Austin, at Pilates, or volunteering with the Austin Humane Society.
