I am a professor in the School
of Computer Science and Technology at
the Beijing Institute of Technology. I was formerly a graduate student at the Software Engineering Institute, Peking University. I defended my PhD
thesis in June 2008. I am always looking
for self-motivated students to work with me.
Contact me by eMail if you are interested in deep learning,
software
engineering, natural language processing, or data mining.
