Short Biography

I am currently working as a postdoc (at the level of research assistant professor) at Data-Intensive Systems Group, Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, hosted by Prof. Christian S. Jensen.

I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Database and Information System, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, during August 2010 to August 2011, hosted by Prof. Gerhard Weikum.

I got my Ph.D. degree from School of Computer Science, Fudan Universtiy, under the supervision of Prof. Aoying Zhou. During my Ph.D. study, I also worked with Dr. Cheqing Jin and Dr. Weining Qian in Institute of Massive Computing, East China Normal University.

During July 2008 to July 2009, I did a scientific assistant in Database and Programming Technologies group (DPT) at the Department of Computer Science, Faculties of Engineering, Science, and Medicine, Aalborg University (AAU) and worked with Prof. Christian S. Jensen and Dr. Hua Lu in Center for Data-intensive Systems (Daisy).

I got my Master and Bachelor degrees in  School of Computer Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China, in April 2007 and June 2004, respectively.
