Biography

I am now a postdoctoral research fellow of the Department of Computer Science of Hong Kong Baptist University working with Dr. William K. Cheung. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D from the same department under supervision of Dr. William K. Cheung (Principal Supervisor) and Prof. Jiming Liu (Co-Supervisor) in September, 2016. I got my Bachelor's degree of Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at East China Normal University, Shanghai, China (Among 39 universities under Project 985) in 2011. My research interests focuses on data mining and social network analysis. I have received the best student paper award in the 2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence.
