I am a fifth-year PhD student in College of Information Science and Technology at Pennsylvania State University advised by Prof. C Lee Giles. I am also a pre-doctoral research fellow in NICO and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University advised by Prof. Dashun Wang. My research interests span science of science, computational social science and network science, with a focus on applying computational tools from machine learning and network science to understand and quantify the career trajectory of professionals in creative domains including artists, film directors and scientists. Before joining Penn State, I received my Bachelor and Master Degree in Physics from Fudan University.
