Hang is a Postdoctoral Research Officer in IELab within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Queensland, Australia, where he works closely with Prof. Guido Zuccon, A/Prof. Bevan Koopman, and Dr. Ahmed Mourad. Prior to Ph.D, he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities, United States, 2016.
Hang works at the intersection of Information Retrieval (IR), Large Language Models (LLMs),Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML) applications, where he utilises different relevance feedbacks to empower the information retrieval system. His recent works seek to address the gap between relevance feedback, deep language models, and information retrieval through different approaches that helps to improve the IR system effectiveness with minimal efficiency cost.
Hang publishes at premier academic venues in IR (e.g. SIGIR, ECIR, WSDM, WWW, TOIS, IJDL). His work was supported by Grains Research and Development Corporation, through the AgAsk project during Ph.D.

Dr Xuemei Li obtained her PhD from the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland in 2024. Since then, she has been a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at AIBN. She has a strong background in materials science and environmental remediation, and is dedicated to developing novel functional materials for wastewater treatment, particularly for the remediation of contaminants such as heavy metals, antibiotics, and PFAS.
I am specialised in remote sensing, Earth observation (EO), and geospatial data science. My current research centres on modelling canopy height by integrating GEDI LiDAR and Sentinel-2 satellite data. This work leverages high-performance computing (HPC), cloud platforms, and machine learning (ML) to produce scalable, reproducible workflows for environmental monitoring and decision support.
My current focus includes:
EO-driven canopy height estimation for forest structure and biomass monitoring
Scalable HPC/cloud workflows for processing LiDAR and satellite data
AI/ML applications in EO for ecosystem modelling and climate resilience
Supporting policy and land planning with EO-derived environmental indicators
Previously, I led research on satellite-based grassland curing to improve fire monitoring, addressing inter-satellite variability and product accuracy for use by fire managers. I also contributed to government-led programs focusing on environmental water planning and provide the framework for coordinating the development of flood works.
I collaborate with academic, government, and industry stakeholders nationally and internationally to ensure EO science translates into tools and insights that support environmental monitoring.

Dr. Erlei Li is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, where he continues his research in computational process modelling for sustainable metallurgy. He obtained his BEng and MEng degrees from Northeastern University (China) in 2011 and 2015, respectively, and was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Monash University in 2022. Dr. Li previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland (2022–2023) and spent two years at the National University of Singapore (2023–2025) as a Research Fellow before returning to UQ.
Dr. Li’s research focuses on physics-based modelling and numerical simulation of complex multiphase and powder transport phenomena in metallurgy, advanced manufacturing, and mineral processing. His expertise lies in developing computational frameworks—including CFD, DEM, unresolved and resolved CFD–DEM coupling, VOF, and LBM methods to elucidate the coupled mechanisms of heat transfer, fluid flow, and particle dynamics across multiple scales.
Dr. Li received the Best Student Presentation Award at the 3rd International Symposium on Computational Particle Technology (CPT2021) and was awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdocs. He also serves on the Youth Editorial Board of Advanced Powder Materials.
