Assistant Professor, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Guangzhou (HKUST-GZ), China
Senior Visiting Fellow, University of New South Wales, Australia
Hi! I am an incoming Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) in Feb. 2026. Previously, I was a Lecturer at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. I also worked as a Research Fellow at the School of Computing Technologies at RMIT University and UNSW Sydney, after completing my doctorate. I was an Associate Investigator at the UNSW node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S My research is at the intersection of AI and smart city domains (such as intelligent transportation, energy, weather etc.), with a focus on spatiotemporal data modelling, time series forecasting, language generation based forecasting, and data-efficient time series representation learning. I am also interested in AI applications for wearable and IoT sensors.
I obtained my PhD from The University of Western Australia in 2020. Before that, I obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2014 and 2016.
I am recruiting 2-3 PhD students in the 2026 Fall round and looking for motivated research interns and visiting students to join my team. Feel free to get in touch!
