Our research is motivated by real-world problems in interdisciplinary studies such as social science, health informatics, and recommender systems. We endeavor to design transparent machine learning and data analytical techniques to better discover dynamic and interpretable patterns from large-scale data.

I am proud of each one of my students and mentees. I enjoy working with all of them!
