I am a Ph.D student at Arizona State University. I am a very laidback person who loves to travel and see new places. Dr. Huan Liu is my advisor and I enjoy working with him. My research interests include identifying and studying user behavioral patterns in Social Media and building social media based tools for crowdsourcing and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief(HADR).
