I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am working with Prof. David Mendez and Dr. Thuy Le. I received my B.Eng. degree in electronic and information engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China, in 2015. I received my M.S. degree in 2017 and a Ph.D. degree in 2024 in electrical and computer engineering from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My PhD advisor is Professor Mingyan Liu.
My research interests include modeling, game theory, social networks, machine learning, and healthcare. I am also interested in animal behavior and human factors. I aim to understand and model how different types of groups or social networks are formed under strategic settings, by looking at the decision-making process of multiple rational agents. Most importantly, my models serve to provide new insights into real-world scenarios such as LA gangs and bird migration. More details can be found in my research and publications.
