I am a final-year Ph.D. Candidate at the National University of Singapore (NUS) working with Prof. Kaidi Yang. Also, I am a co-founder of AutoLink to transform driving data into digital assets for everyone. Before that, I obtained a B.Eng. in Transportation Engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in Harbin, China.

My research interests include responsible data science in transportation systems and trustworthy AI for traffic control. I have published some papers at the top transportation conferences and journals, such as ISTTT, TR Part C, and so on. For more details, please find my CV attached.
