📚 My Research

My vision is to leverage technology, particularly AI, for social good. As you can see, my academic background spans economics, operations research, data science, and mathematics, and I am now bringing this interdisciplinary expertise into the AI domain. My current work focuses on areas such as multimodal large language model reasoning, digital twin technologies, and enhancing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with graph algorithms.

In the future, I aspire to delve deeper into AI research in areas like social simulation, personalization, and information retrieval. I am currently seeking PhD opportunities, and if my experience resonates with you, please feel free to reach out to me via email. I would also be delighted to connect and explore potential collaborations. 😃
