Biography

I am a Tenure-track Assistant Professor at the School of Science and Engineering, University of Missouri -- Kansas City, USA. My research interests include adaptable and sustainable intelligence, where I design, implement, deploy, and evaluate AI systems that empower the communities. I am continuously interested in recuriting Ph.D. students with strong background in AI agents and systemic efficiency.

News (09/19/2024): Several papers have been accepted (i.e., in TPAMI, ECCV, EMNLP)! Please check them out.
