I am a third-year undergraduate student from department of electronic engineering, Tsinghua University, China. Now I am a  visiting student in Human Dynamics Group, Media Lab, MIT, under the supervision of Professor Alex ' Sandy' Pentland.  My research interests focus on data mining techniques and computational sociology. I have been working on spatial-temporal  big data and credit card transaction  data to understand human behavior from a data-driven perspective.

At Tsinghua, I am a research assistant at Future Communications & Internet Lab advised by Professor Yong Li. Since my exchange semester at University of Maryland, College Park in fall 2016, I have been co-advised by Distinguished University Professor Hanan Samet.
