Lin Chen (she/her) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Social Urban Networks (SUN) Lab at Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute. She obtained her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Driven by a fascination of human group behavior, her research spans across data science, urban science, and computational social science. She studies the segregation, accessibility, and inequality encoded in urban mobility, and how such patterns change in face of diverse shocks. She is also actively exploring the usage of large language models (and agents driven by them) in improving behavior research. Her work has been published in Nature Human Behaviour, KDD, ICWSM, and IJCAI.
