Junhao Gan is a lecturer in School of Computing and Information Systems (CIS) at The University of Melbourne (UoM). Before joining the UoM, he was a post-doctoral research fellow in School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) at The University of Queensland (UQ) from April 2017 to July 2018. He received his PhD degree proudly under the supervision of Prof. Yufei Tao in the same school at UQ in 2017, and obtained his bachelor and master degrees at Sun Yat-Sen University in 2011 and 2013, respectively.
