About me [CV]

I'm currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Department of Information & Communication Engineering/電子情報学専攻, The University of Tokyo, supervised by Prof. Kaoru Sezaki. Before that, I received my master degree under the supervision of Prof. Ryosuke Shibasaki and Prof. Renhe Jiang at Center for Spatial Information Science/空間情報科学研究センター, The University of Tokyo. I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science in 2019 from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech, 南方科技大学), Shenzhen, China, where I was also a member of Database Group@SUSTech, supervised by Prof. Bo Tang.

Research Interests: All about Trajectory and Mobility Data.
I extremely enjoy discussing research with people; it brings me immense joy and happiness, and it's what fascinates me the most. Therefore, if you are interested in my research or would like to know my views and suggestions on certain topics, or if there are potential suitable job opportunities, feel free to contact me via email anytime. Let's chat and explore more possibilities together!
我极其喜欢和人聊研究,这对我来说是莫大的快乐和幸福,也是我最着迷的事情。因此如果您对我的研究感兴趣,或者希望了解我对某些 topics 的看法和建议,抑或着是有潜在的合适工作机会,诸如此类。随时欢迎您通过邮件联系我,让我们一起唠唠嗑,探索更多可能性!
私は人と研究について話すことが非常に好きで、それは私にとって大きな喜びと幸せであり、最も魅了されることです。したがって、もしあなたが私の研究に興味を持っている場合や、特定のトピックについての私の見解や提案を知りたい場合、あるいは潜在的な適切な仕事の機会などがあれば、いつでもメールでご連絡ください。一緒におしゃべりしながら、もっと多くの可能性を探求しましょう!
