I am currently a Research Associate at the City Future Research Center, University of New South Wales (UNSW). My current work focuses on advancing generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Model (LLM) techniques, for geospatial analytics to support urban planning and housing analytics in New South Wales (NSW).

I completed my PhD in AI and Data Science at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), supervised by Assistant Vice President & Chair Professor Guandong Xu and Dr. Qian Li. I received Master of Information Technology (2021) and Bachelor of Information Technology (2018), both from UTS. I have authored 20+ publications in leading AI venues, such as TKDE, WWW, SIGIR, CIKM, TOIS, TORS, PAKDD, Neurocomputing, DASFAA, Information Science, et al. My expertise spans explainable AI, housing analytics, data science, causal inference, recommendation systems, and machine learning. My academic excellence has been recognized through numerous scholarships and awards, including the HDR Excellence Reward, President's Scholarship, International Research Scholarship, and multiple Dean's List.  I have taught a range of AI and programming-related subjects. I am currently working on multiple AI-related projects such as MapAI and Urban Copilot, and I am open to potential research or industry collaborations.
