Bang An
I'm a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate at Tippie College of Business, University of Iowa, being advised by Dr. Patrick Fan. I received my B.S. degree from Rutgers University, New Brunswick with dual majors in Computer Science and Business Analytics. My research interests lie in spatiotemporal data mining, interpretable machine learning, and natural language processing. I study problems including smart city, healthcare, event analysis, and medical notes analysis.
I am on the 2023-2024 job market.
