Brief Biography
I'm currently working as Associate Professor in Ocean University of China. Before that, I received my PhD. degree from Northeastern University (China). I major in big data analysis and cloud computing, and have totally published 19 research papers, some of which are accepted by top conferences and journals like ACM SIGMOD, ACM SoCC, and IEEE TPDS and TKDE. I am also maintaining an open-source big graph processing system [HGraph].
