Short Bio

I joined the College of Computer Science & Technology of Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics (NUAA) in June, 2009.

From September 2018 to July 2019, I was a visiting scholar at the department of computer science, Nanjing University. From February 2016 to February 2017, I was a visiting fellow of the School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. Before that, I was a post-doc at the department of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University (THU) from July 2007 to June 2009. I earned my Ph. D and MS degrees in Computer Science from Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics (NUAA) in 2007 and 2004, respectively. After 4 years' study at Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology (NUIST) with the Highest Score of the entrance examination, I got my Bachelor degree of Computer Science in 2001.
