Brief Biography

I am now a professor in School of Computers and Artificial Intelligence, Zhengzhou University (ZZU). I obtained my Ph.D degree in Department of Computer Science from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in 2015, supervised by Prof. Jianliang Xu. I was presented ACM China Doctoral Dissertation Award Chapter Winner at ACM Turing 50th Celebration Conference - China in 2017. My research interests span the broad area of location-aware problems with particular focus on location-based services, human-machine intelligence, and visualization. I have published more than 30 technical papers, including IEEE-TKDE, IEEE-TSC, IEEE-TMM, ACM-TIST, ACM-TWEB, IEEE-ICDE, PVLDB, WWW, ACM-CIKM. I have served as serval program committee members for ACM-CIKM, IEEE-CPSNA, APWEB-WAIM, and a program committee chair for IEEE-MUST2019.
