Hello, I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, where I lead the Data-Centric Intelligence Lab. I received the Ph.D. degree in the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech under the supervision of Prof. Ran Jin.

My research focuses on creating a data quality assurance paradigm to enable effective AI modeling performance in the manufacturing industrial internet. Data generation, data acquisition, data valuation, and data sharing methods have been investigated for AI models with applications in additive manufacturing, bio-manufacturing, semiconducting, and IoT infrastructure design, where statistical and machine learning models as well as optimization methods are heavily used.

I also conduct research in interpretable machine learning, predictive modeling with statistical models, and supply chain optimization using operations research.
