     I was born and raised in China where I obtained a B. Comp. (Hons 1st Class) from Shanghai Science and Technology University in 1998 and a Master degree in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2001. I was conferred a PhD degree in Computer Science at National University of Singapore (NUS). My advisor at NUS was Prof. Ling Tok Wang. I did my Postdoc research with Prof. Chen Li in the Department of Computer Science, University of California, Irvine. I joined Renmin Univesity of China in June 2008.

Research Interest

    My research interests are in the fields of database and information systems, including XML query processing, data mining, XML keyword suggestion , approximate string matching, cloud data management.

News

  1. My master student LV Ying started her internship study in National University of Singapore with Prof. Ling Tok Wang. Her research topic is about keyword search on spatial data. Congratulation and hope she will make good research in NUS.
  2. In this International Summer school, I will teach a new course about Cloud computing. See details .
  3. There is a Post-doc research opportunity in Stanford University on the topic of bioinformatics. See details . If you are interesting in it, let me know.
  4. Our paper about XML keyword search in ICDE 2009 has been selected as one of "Best papers" to be published in IEEE TKDE Journal.
  5. Our proposal for Cloud data management workshop in CIKM 2009 has been approved.
  6. I am very glad to announce that my daughter was born on March 1st 2009.
  7. New research funding: We are glad to receive an award from Ministry of Education (MOE), China to support our research on keyword search.
  8. New research funding: We are glad to receive an award from the 863 program to support our research on XML data management.
  9. ICDE 2009 accepted paper: Our two papers "Effective XML Keyword Search with Relevance Oriented Ranking" [pdf] and "Space-Constrained Gram-Based Indexing for Efficient Approximate String Search" have been accepted as long papers by the 25th IEEE Intl Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) 2009, to be held in Shanghai, China.
  10. I will give a panel talk titled "Review of Claremont Report on Database Research" at National Database Conference 2008, Guilin China. [slides ]
