About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Emory University, advised by Prof. Andreas Zufle at the Spatial Computing Lab. My current research focuses on developing novel foundation models for understanding human mobility through geolocation data.

Previously, I had the opportunity to work on a rotation project with Prof. Li Xiong, where we developed privacy-preserving predictive models for multi-modal temporal Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. I also worked under the supervision of Dr. Wei Jin on designing scalable and explainable graph condensation methods for Graph Neural Networks.

My broader research interests lie in Machine Learning, with applications in spatio-temporal computing, graph learning, and computer vision. I am particularly interested in gaining a principled understanding of these methods by exploring their mathematical foundations and real-world implications. My long-term goal is to translate this theoretical insight into practical solutions for real-world challenges.
