01

Research Timeline

科研经历
JAN. 2026 — PRESENT

Research Assistant — Princeton University普林斯顿大学 · 计算社会科学

Supporting interdisciplinary research using machine learning and multimodal data to study human behavior and communication on social media — contributing annotated training data and identifying behavioral, linguistic, and contextual features relevant to computational analyses of online discourse and social interaction.

2026 — PRESENT

Researcher — Westlake University西湖大学 · 计算基因组学

Research at the intersection of computational genomics, machine learning, and deep learning — with an emphasis on genomic sequence modeling, molecular phenotype prediction, model generalization, and rigorous benchmarking. Developing and evaluating deep-learning pipelines for biological data with large-scale datasets and GPU-based computational research environments.

DEC. 2022 — PRESENT

Research Assistant — University of Maryland马里兰大学 · 教育测评

Research on automated essay scoring, AI-generated text detection, and educational measurement using machine learning, natural language processing, and psychometric methods — developing transformer- and LLM-based approaches, text summarization, linguistic features, and ensemble methods, with peer-reviewed publications and presentations at IMPS, NCME, and other international conferences. This includes the automated scoring system for AP humanities writing (history, literature, foreign languages), long-form essay classification, and cost-efficient generative-AI summarization for scalable scoring.

AUG. 2025 — DEC. 2025

Teaching Assistant — Princeton University普林斯顿大学 · 助教

Official note taker for Professor Christiane Fellbaum’s freshman seminar Evolution of Human Language — producing structured and accessible academic notes that synthesize linguistic theories, empirical findings, and classroom discussions.

科研项目

AP Humanities Automated Scoring System

In progress
AP 人文科目自动评分系统

Building an automated scoring system for AP humanities essays — history, literature, and foreign languages. The goal is a scoring pipeline that is accurate, transparent, and equitable: refining evaluation criteria, exploring resource-efficient modeling, and expanding applicability across prompts and contexts.
