I am currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and an affiliated faculty of Statistics in the Division of Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), start from Spring 2021. I am also the PI of Provable Responsible AI and Data Analytics (PRADA) Lab, a member of Computational Bioscience Research Center (CBRC), and an affiliated faculty with the SDAIA-KAUST Center of Excellence in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA-KAUST AI).
Before that, I got my Ph.D degree in Computer Science at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 2020 under supervision of Dr. Jinhui Xu. Before my Ph.D study I took my Master degree in Mathematics at University of Western Ontario in 2015, and I received my Bachelor degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Shandong University in 2014.
Opening Positions : I am always looking for visiting scholars, Postdocs, PhD students, (remote) interns, and visiting students. If you are interested in working with me, please send me your CV and transcripts before applying.
