I am currently a tenure-track professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, the Shandong University. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral scholar, hosted by Prof. Ron Shamir, at the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, the Tel Aviv University. I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Shandong University, my advisor was Prof. Daming Zhu and co-advisor was Prof. Pavel Pevzner at UCSD.
I'm currently seeking Master's/PhD candidates to join my research group. If you're interested, feel free to reach out to me.
