About me

I'm Lilian, a first-year PhD student in Informatics (Track in Complex System), School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University Bloomington.




Now I'm working in Network & Agent Networks (NaN) Research Group in Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research(CNetS), especially for GiveALink social tagging system, headed by Prof Filippo Menczer.

I love internet, various interesting applications, and complicated relationship among different online elements. There exist so many things I don't know that I always feel ignorant, and then I turn to books and internet, and learn. This process of discovering my own ignorance and learning in order to fulfill my own knowledge base in brain always makes me happy and enjoyable.



My Research interests include: Online Tagging System, Social Network Analysis, Complex Network.
