Short Biography I am a Ph.D. candidate at Mississippi State University. I am advised by Prof. Zhiqian Chen. Before that, I obtained my master's degree in Data Science from the University of Pittsburgh and another master's degree in Human Resource Management from Rutgers University. Currently, my research interest focuses on graph neural networks, social networks, network flows, and uncertainty quantification.
*New Our paper Sobol’s Total Indices for Accurate and Scalable Feature Exclusion in High-Dimensional Data is accepted by BigData '25.
Research Interests
