About
I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics (advisor: Professor Michel Pleimling), M.S. in Computer Science (advisor: Professor Gang Wang), and M.S. in Statistics (advisor: Professor Yili Hong) from Virginia Tech.
My research interests include data-driven modeling of complex human behaviors (Human Dynamics), sociophysics, machine learning in security, and non-equilibrium statistical physics.
