Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the City University of Hong Kong School of Data Science. I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Michigan, where I was advised by Mark Newman. Prior to this, I obtained a B.S. in Physics and B.A. in Mathematics at the University of Rochester, where I did research with Gourab Ghoshal.
Research Interests/Areas
I am interested in the theory of complex networks and statistical physics, as well as their applications in urban and social systems. My main areas of focus are:
- Theory of complex networks:
- characterization of structure in networks with metadata
- analysis and algorithms for statistical inference with network data
- Statistical physics of urban systems:
- structure and dynamics of human mobility
- spatial socioeconomic inequality
My research involves a balance of mathematical theory, computer simulation, and analysis of empirical data.
