I am a final-year Ph.D. student at Stevens Institute of Technology, majoring in Data Science. I am honored to be advised by Prof. Feng Mai.
Before enrolling in the Ph.D. program, I earned my Master's degree in Business Intelligence & Analytics also from Stevens. I received the Bachelor's degree in Economics from Shandong University, CN.
After spending three years in information systems and two in business analytics, my interests have gravitated toward the potential of deep learning models in the business world. My current research focuses on Financial Technology (FinTech), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Social Network Analysis (SNA), and Graph Representation Learning (GNNs).
