Openings

May 2024: I am looking for remote interns/Ph.D. students working on AI for environmental science and XAI for science.

Short Bio

I am an assistant professor at Florida International University. I obtained my doctoral degree at the College of Information Science and Technology, Pennsylvania State University, supervised by Prof. Xiang Zhang in 2022 and my B.Eng degree in computer science and technology from Beihang University in 2017, supervised by Prof. Shuai Ma.
