I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Science, Engineering and Digital Technologies, University of Southern Queensland. My research interests include computational social intelligence, urban and environmental computing, and large language models. For my full and timely publication list, please refer to my Google Scholar . I am an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems and an Academic Editor of PeerJ Computer Science. I serve as Program Committee member for venues including NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, COLING, KDD, and The Web Conference.

I am currently seeking self-motivated PhD and Master students to work on social computing, large language models, and decision support for crisis and disaster management. Please feel free to contact me by email if interested.
