Bio

I am a second year PhD student in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xiaokui Xiao.
Prior to that, I obtained my master degree in computer science at University of Science and Technology of China and my bachelor's degree in mathematics at
University of Science and Technology of China. My master work was advised by Prof. Enhong Chen.
