Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Data Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, working on mobile health with Prof. Susan Murphy. I earned my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech in 2019, and earlier, I received B.E. in Automation from University of Science and Technology of China in 2011.

[Google Scholar] [Curriculum Vitae]

I am now recruiting research assistants! I have multiple PhD openings this year. If you are interested in working on machine learning for healthcare projects, and with good programming skills and math background, you can contact me via email with your CV.

Research Interests

My research has yielded new sequential data analysis and decision-making tools, all inspired and motivated by applications in healthcare, smart cities and social media. I develop new methodological frameworks that combine deep learning, time series analysis, cognitive science and point processes to address the complexity and volume of the sequential data collected in modern systems.

More specifically, my research focuses on:

  • Interpretable machine learning: knowledge discovery and logical reasoning

  • Temporal and spatial dynamic modeling of humans and objects

  • Applications of machine learning to healthcare
