About Me
I am currently a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. Previously, I was a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science & Engineering of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I completed my Ph.D. study with Hong Kong Baptist University under the supervision of Prof. Xiaowen Chu in 2020. I received a B.Eng. degree in software engineering from South China University of Technology in 2010, and an M.Sc. degree in computer science from Harbin Institute of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Xuan Wang in 2013. My current research focus is distributed machine learning systems.
