Biography

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University, working with Prof. Jiangbo Yu. In 2025, I obtained my PhD degree at Human-Integrated Systems Lab of HKUST, Guangzhou Campus, supervised by Prof. Dengbo He and Prof. Kaishun Wu. I earned my Master degree in Big Data Technology from the CSE department of HKUST in 2022. My advisor is Prof. Fangzhen Lin. Prior to that, I received my B.Eng degree in Software Engineering from Sichuan University in 2021, supervised by Prof. Ning Yang. My research interest includes data analysis based on statistical/machine learning, human factor engineering, and artificial intelligence.
