BIOGRAPHY

I have obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in July, 2010. I have 15+ years of post-PhD experience of teaching and supervision at BS, MS and PhD level (English). I believe in the publishable and applicable research. I have published several good papers and also have taken part in many research projects as well and acquired research funding's for projects. I have proven and extensive experience in Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning / Deep Learning) applications to Social Networks, Natural Language Processing, Data Science, etc.

In summary, I believe that teaching, research, and industry collaborations are non-separable parts of academic career. I am enthusiastic about advancing the intellectual development of my students to its best and use research for solving real life problems through industry collaborations. I love to work in a team to learn and grow faster.
