Bio:

I am an Assistant Professor at Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore. I am leading the Trustworthy User Modelling and Personalization (TUMP) Lab at SUTD, mainly focusing on (1) designing trustworthy recommendation algorithms–robust, diverse, fair, explainable, and privacy-preserving–by applying cutting-edge techniques, e.g., LLMs, across various domains like e-commerce, multimedia, location-based social networks, and healthcare; (2) developing LLM-based user simulators for human-centric evaluation and optimisation of recommender systems; and (3) benchmarking recommender systems through rigorous evaluation and fair comparison by advancing open-source libraries DaisyRec and DaisyRec-v2.0.
