Biography
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Penn State University since 2007. I am co-advised by Prof. Jia Li and Prof. James Z. Wang. Since 2009, I am also doing a concurrent M.S. in the Department of Statistics at Penn State. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I received my B.S. (Highest Honor) degree in 2007 from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology. In 2006, I was an exchange student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. My research interests are statistical machine learning, data mining, image annotations and retrieval, text mining, mobile vision, social network analysis, visual analytics, and services computing .
