I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota (UMN) and I am a member of Knowledge Computing lab advised by prof. Yao-Yi Chiang. My research focuses on building spatial artificial intelligence and constructing deep learning models on large sets of real-world spatial data.

Currently, I am working on multimodal region representation learning to understand the relationship between environment (e.g., using satellite imagery or geometry data) and humans. I am also interested in forecasting fine-grained data by constructing a deep learning-based model to explore spatiotemporal dependencies.

Previously, I received a B.S. and M.S. degree in Computer Sciecne & Engineering department from the Purdue University Fort Wayne, advised by prof. Jin Soung Yoo. Also, I was a member of Business Intelligence and Information Management Lab advised by prof. Adolfo Coronado.
