Educational Psychology & Research Methodology

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Educational Psychology and Research Methodology at Purdue University, working under the guidance of Professor Hua-Hua Chang. My research focuses on psychometrics, educational measurement, statistical modeling, and large language models.

With a strong background in Statistics from East China Normal University and ongoing doctoral training at Purdue, I specialize in online calibration, computerized adaptive testing (CAT), and process data analysis. My work aims to bridge methodological rigor with practical applications in educational settings.

My research has been recognized and supported by the Ross Fellowship (2023-2027) and the 2025 Psychometric Society Vector Travel Award.
