Each experience will build us more comprehensively. We can not connect the dots looking forward; we can only connect them backward. These dots will be somehow connected in our future. Currently, I am a PhD student at the University of Georgia and luckily advised by Dr. Jidong Yang. Prior to joining UGA, I worked as a data scientist at United Parcel Service (UPS). Besides, I obtained my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology under the supervision of Dr. Lei Wu. I have an interdisciplinary research background, and my research interest lies broadly in time-series traffic data, signal processing, deep neural networks, etc. [CV]
