Research and teaching

Multimodal research systems for health, language, and society.

I build integrative frameworks that connect text, images, behavioural data, scientific literature, and health records into usable public knowledge.

The work spans digital health, natural language processing, scientometrics, and computational social science, with an emphasis on methods that travel across disciplines without losing rigour.

Digital health systems

Linking clinical text, wearables, patient-reported outcomes, and multimodal signals into usable evidence systems.

Language and knowledge

Using NLP, semantic analysis, and knowledge graphs to trace how research and public discourse evolve.

Computational social science

Studying social platforms, behaviour, and visual culture through reproducible, public-facing analysis workflows.

Research

Editorial-scale methods for layered public questions.

The research portfolio is organised as a sequence of clear modules rather than a dense wall of topics. Each module combines substantive questions, technical infrastructure, and evidence design.

Text, image, sensor, and metadata signals treated as one integrated surface.

This means multimodal harmonisation, reproducible pipelines, and interfaces that communicate findings clearly to collaborators outside computing.

01

Natural language processing

Developing methods for clinical text, social media, and scientific corpora that remain interpretable across domains.

Projects

Live projects with a clear delivery surface.

Current work ranges from data integration systems to applied multimodal research platforms. Each project is framed as a product-like module with collaborators, funding context, and a direct route into the work.

Chinese Fashion Aesthetics: Current Landscape, Trends, and Changes

This study examines the dynamics of Chinese fashion aesthetics through social media analysis using multimodal data, and explores how fashion trends are represented, communicated, and diffused online.

Assistant for Visually Impaired

An assistive algorithm for visually impaired users that combines multi-camera vision to enhance spatial perception and object awareness and integrating vLLM for contextual understanding and optional LiDAR input for enhanced depth sensing, aiming to deliver robust, real-time assistance to improve user independence and environmental interaction.
