About Me

  • I am a Professor in the School of Cyber Science and Engineering (CSE) at Wuhan University, China. Before joining CSE, I was with the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Wuhan University from October 2012 to January 2018, as a lecturer and then an associate professor. From 2016 to 2017, I worked as a visiting scholar under the supervision of Prof. Heng Yin at UC Riverside.
  • I obtained my B.S. and Ph.D degree (advised by Prof. Lina Wang) in Computer Science from Wuhan University in 2007 and 2012, respectively. Later, I worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Debin Gao at Singapore Management University from 2011 to 2012.
  • I am looking for highly-motivated graduates to join our group all the time. Please drop me an email with your CV if you are interested.
