Biography

I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Lehigh University, advised by Prof. Yu Yang. I received my master’s degree from Southeast University, where I was advised by Prof. Shuai Wang and Prof. Tian He .

My research is concentrated in the areas of Human-Centric Cyber-Physical Systems and AI-driven Simulation. I focus on modeling human behavior and optimizing mobility systems, with applications in logistics, multimodal transportation networks, and shared micromobility. More recently, I am interested in using large language models to generate synthetic populations with realistic mobility behaviors for urban mobility applications. My publications can also be found at Google Scholar.
