2025 - Present
I am an Assistant Professor and Programme Director for MSc Social Computing in the Academy of AI and Advanced Technology at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, specialising in digital health, medical informatics, and computational social science.
My research develops integrative, data-driven frameworks for natural language processing, semantic analysis, multimodal integration, and digital twin approaches across health and society.
I also work on multimodal social media analysis, scientometrics, and knowledge graphs to map large-scale trends and identify emerging interdisciplinary frontiers.
At XJTLU, I teach CPT105 and collaborate with researchers, innovators, and public-facing teams across health, social science, culture, and fashion.
