LLM social behaviour simulation, Trajectory data mining, Intent detection, Process mining, Artificial intelligent (AI) in education
I am currently a joint PhD student at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University–Hong Kong Baptist University United International College. My research focuses on large language model (LLM)-driven social behavior simulation, spatiotemporal trajectory mining, and semantic trajectory inference.
Between Dec 2024 and Apr 2025, I served as a Research Assistant in Professor Yuanlin Zhang’s group at Texas Tech University, exploring how AI and logic can together improve K-12 education.

Why I’m Outstanding
-
🚀 Highly Self-Driven with Passion for Research
Despite being in a coursework-based Master’s program, I actively engaged in research projects. Within the latest year, I contributed as the first or second author to 3 EI/Scopus-indexed journal papers and 4 IEEE conference papers. I maintain a strong work ethic with an average of 14 hours of daily study and research. -
👨💻 Strong Project Management and Engineering Foundation
I have consistently led software engineering projects as scrum master, responsible for both management and core development. Proficient in project management tools like Jira and ZenTao and programming languages like Java and Python. -
🧠 Adaptable and Fast Learner
Unfamiliar field? I love the ride. My research interests span across multiple fields. I quickly adapt to new fields and reach publication-level proficiency, my supervisors are able to confirm it 😆.
