About Me

I am currently an assistant professor at School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Griffith University. Prior to this, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University in 2024. I specialize in time series analysis and spatio-temporal data mining, with a good track record of publishing high-impact papers in top-ranked venues, including NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, KDD, and TPAMI, among others. My research works were selected as Most Influential Papers, with some having become widely used baselines, gaining substantial recognition in the open-source community. I also server as an associate editor for Neurocomputing (JCR Q1 IF 6.0) and actively contributes as a senior program committee for prestigious international conferences and workshops.

I am dedicated to conducting high-impact research and open for collaborations. My research interests are broadly in (i) time series analysis, (ii) multimodal learning, and (iii) graph neural networks, with a special focus on temporal settings (e.g., FMs & GNNs & LLMs for time series and spatio-temporal data) in solving both fundamental and real-world problems.

🪧 Multiple Ph.D./visiting positions are available. (05/2025) I am looking for (i) well-matched (w.r.t. research interests), (ii) qualified, and (iii) highly self-motivated candidates to work with me. If you are interested, drop me an email with your application materials (e.g., CV and transcripts). See more information here about our lab and requirements. Due to the overwhelming volume of emails I receive daily, I kindly apologize in advance for not being able to respond to each one individually.

Research Interests

I work in the field of time series and spatio-temporal data mining, primarily investigating the development and application of advanced machine learning techniques to model and predict complex patterns in temporal data. I focus on the following research topics:

• Time Series (e.g., pattern discovery, foundation and reasoning models)
• Spatio-temporal Data Mining (e.g., representation learning and AI for transportation/climate science)
• Multimodal AI (e.g., time series language models and agentic AI for healthcare applications)
• Trustworthy AI (e.g., model transparency and robustness)
