I am currently a 3rd-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and a member of iDEA Lab leaded by Dr. Hanghang Tong. My research interests mainly lies in large-scale data mining and machine learning with networked data.
Before joining UIUC, I obtained my BEng degree in Communications Engineering at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and MCS degree in Computer Science at University of Virginia. Then I spent two years at Arizona State University as a PhD student in School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering.
