I defended my Ph.D. thesis in May 2020, and am now a research scientist at Facebook. While in the Ph.D. program, I was working with Prof. Hanan Samet in the Department of Computer Science at University of Maryland. Before the Ph.D. study, I completed my master degree at Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University under the advisory of Prof. Yanmin Zhu. I hold my Bachelor's degree from the School of Software majoring in Software Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2011.
My research interests are in the areas of spatial computing and spatial data mining.
