I am broadly interested in the areas of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Cyber-Human Systems (CHS) and Data Science by a technical integration of data, humans, and systems.

My current work is focsed on two directions: (1) human behavior learning driven by rich data collected from urban physical systems; (2) applications based on human behavior knowledge.
