Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology.
My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, graph mining, and data analytics, focusing on social informatics, health care, and financial technologies. In particular, my research group is dedicated to developing predictive and generative methods that effectively capture spatio-temporal, dynamic, and interpretable patterns in large-scale datasets. Our work is supported by the National Science Foundation, Nvidia, and Stevens Institute of Technology.
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science of Virginia Tech under Dr. Naren Ramakrishnan.
I am also affiliated with Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI),
Center for Research Toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT), and Semcer Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI).
