My research studies machine learning and optimization methods for addressing challenges of high data heterogeneity and model interpretability in complex engineering problems, such as medical image-based diseases analysis, neurological disorder diagnosis, precision agriculture, smart electronics manufacturing, smart warehouse, and other big data applications. I am particularly interested in understanding the algorithmic and statistical properties of machine learning models through both empirical (data-driven methods to develop tools for solving practical problems) and methodological (optimization theories to advance our understanding of machine learning fundamentals) studies.

Recently, my work is focused on 1) developing interpretable machine learning tools to understand extracapsular extension in head and neck cancer treatment, 2) transfer learning and domain adaptation in woodchip quality evaluation, and 3) pattern recognition from multi-channel multi-modal biometric signals.

I joined MSU Industrial and Systems Engineering department as an assistant professor in 2019, I am also an affiliated faculty at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) and University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) Department of Radiation Oncology.

I obtained my Ph.D. and M.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 2019 and 2015, respectively, as advised by Dr. Sang Won Yoon. I also hold a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Southeast University in Nanjing, China.

From 2014 to 2019, I was a research associate working on the following research projects sponsored by different industry partners under the Integrated Electronics Engineering Center (IEEC) and Watson Institute of Systems Excellence (WISE) at Binghamton University:

Since joining the MSU faculty, my research has been generously supported by NIH, USDA, the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES), MSU Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED), and the MSU Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) Faculty Seed Funding Program.
