Biography
I am a final-year Ph.D. student at Rutgers University, under the supervision of Prof. Desheng Zhang. I am also working with Prof. Tian He, Prof. Yunhuai Liu and Prof. Shuai Wang in research. I obtained my master degree from Central South University, under the supervision of Prof. Jiawei Huang.
My research is concentrated in the areas of Human-Centric Cyber-Physical Systems and Spatial-Temporal Data Science. I focus on exploring various techniques, e.g., Large Language Models (LLMs), Robust Machine Learning, and Interpretable Large-scale System Optimization, for predictive analytics and decision-making problems in smart cities. My work is informed by real-world demands and the systems I developed have been deployed nationwide to improve urban life and promote environmental sustainability. My publications can also be found at Google Scholar.
