Biography

I am an Associate Professor of School of Cyberspace at Hangzhou Dianzi University. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D from the Department of Computer Science of Hong Kong Baptist University under supervision of Dr. William K. Cheung (Principal Supervisor) and Prof. Jiming Liu (Co-Supervisor) in September, 2016 and was a a postdoctoral research fellow under the same supervisor for two years. I got my Bachelor's degree of Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at East China Normal University, Shanghai, China hin 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.
