Short bio (displayed in user profile at end of posts)

bio: My research focuses on data-driven modeling of human behavior and experience in built environments. I develop hierarchical frameworks that integrate imitation learning, reinforcement learning, graph neural networks, and large language models to infer, predict, and generalize spatio-temporal human behavior and subjective experience across environments.

interests:

  • Human Behavior Modeling in Built Environments
  • Multi-Agent Systems and Agent-Based Modeling
  • Graph Neural Networks and Representation Learning
  • Reinforcement Learning and Imitation Learning
  • Cyber-Physical-Social Systems
  • Experience Modeling and Inference
