About me

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am working with Professor Kristen LeFevre in the Database Research Group. My research focuses on data systems, applications, particularly data security.

I got my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Fudan University in 2008. I worked with Professor Shuigeng Zhou and Zhongzhi Zhang on complex network modeling and application (see details). I spent one semester in HKUST as an exchange student. I interned in Microsoft Research Asia in 2007, Yahoo! Research in 2010, Google Research in 2011 and 2012.
