Brief Bio
I am currently an associate professor in the Computer Science and Engineering
Department of the University at Buffalo. I got my PhD from Computer Science Department at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Jiawei Han.
I received M.E. and B.E. from the Computer Science and Technology Department
at Harbin Institute of Technology
in China.
For Prospective Students
I am looking for motivated Ph.D. students who are interested in data mining and related areas. Please send me your CV and/or apply to CSE buffalo if you are interested.
Graduate admission information can be found here.
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in data and information analysis with a
focus on data mining. In particular, I am
interested in truth discovery, crowdsourcing, knowledge graphs, multi-source data analysis, anomaly detection, information network analysis, transfer learning and data stream mining. I am also
interested in various data
mining applications in health care, bioinformatics, transportation, cyber security and education. [Research Overview]
