I am currently a Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Irwin King and Prof. Michael R. Lyu at the Chinese University of Hong Kong(CUHK). Before that, I received my Bachelor and Master degree in Electronic Engineering from the South China University of Technology(SCUT) in 2003 and 2006 respectively.

My research interests include Web Search and Information Retrieval, with broad applications on web, scientific literature, and other textual data. I am also interested in Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Social Network Analysis.
