Bio:

I am currently a PhD student in the Research School of Computer Science at The Australian National University. I am being supervised by Peter Christen, David Newth, Lexing Xie, and Robert Ackland. I received a Master's degree of Computer Science from University of Southern California (USC) where I studied Artificial Intelligence.

My research topic is dynamics of information diffusion which includes analyzing collective user behaviors, modeling diffusion, and predicting evolving trends of information. Currently, I am working on uncovering mechanisms of news diffusion in social media.
