I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at CISE, University of Florida (August, 2012 - Present).
I am now supervised by Dr. Daisy Zhe Wang and working in the Data Science Research Group.
My research interest includes Data Science, Big Data, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Image Retrieval.

I have received Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at Department of Computer Science and Technology
at Nanjing University, China(September, 2008 - June, 2012).
I completed my undergraduate thesis in the Grid + P2P + Sensor Networks(GPS) Group at Nanjing University.
