Kanghui Ning

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at the University of Connecticut (UConn), under the supervision of Professor Dongjin Song.

My primary research goal is to build reliable and interpretable AI systems. Currently, I focus on AI for time series analysis, with particular interests in:

  • Advancing time series forecasting with time series foundation models
  • Multi-modal time series analysis
  • Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for time series forecasting and understanding
  • Graph-based learning for temporal biomedical and healthcare data

If you share similar research interests or would like to collaborate, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to meaningful discussions and potential research opportunities.

Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from UESTC and my master’s degree from HUST.
