BIOGRAPHY

I am a Ph.D. student in the Data Mining Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) since Fall 2004. My advisor is professor Jiawei Han. Prior to joining UIUC, I studied at the Special Class for Gifted Young (SCGY), University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). I received my Master degree in 2006 from UIUC and my Bachelor degree in 2003 from USTC, both are in Computer Science.

CURRICULUM VITAE

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am generally interested in data mining, data warehousing and database systems. Currently, I focus on modeling, managing and analyzing large-scale graph and information network data, with applications from chem/bio-informatics, social networks, the Web and computer systems. In particular, my Ph.D. thesis topic is on endowing graph data with the power of multi-dimensional analysis and OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) functionalities.
