ASSOCIATE RESEARCHER II
Biography
I am an associate researcher in the Data Management, Analytics and Services Group (DMAS) of Microsoft Research Asia. I am also a member of the Ubiquitous Computing Group (Ubicomp) in Microsoft Research. I got my Ph.D degree in Computer Science from the School of Computer Science and Technology in 2012, and I received my B.S. degree in Mathematics from the School of the Gifted Young in 2007, both in University of Science and Technology of China. From 2009 to 2012, I worked as a full time research intern in MSR Asia. Currently, my research interests include behavioral data mining, spatial-temporal data mining and computational social science. I am a member of ACM, IEEE and China Computer Federation (CCF).
