About Me

 

    I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My advisor is Prof. Andrew McCallum.

    My research interests lie primarily in the area of statistical machine learning and data mining with special focus on topic modeling and social network analysis, both  by discovering hidden structures. Currently, I am mainly conducting research on the role of text in social network analysis with applications to email messages, political voting records, and academic literatures.  I am also interested in bioinformatics. See my research.

 

    Before I came to UMass, I worked for UtopiaCompression Corporation, Los Angeles, California on image/video compression and mining, after I got my MS in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining at the Center for Automated Learning and Discovery, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I worked with Prof. Tom Mitchell on  Machine Learning for Human Brain Image Analysis. During 1994-2001, I studied at the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, Beijing, People's Republic of China, and got my bachelor's and master's degrees of engineering.  Like all students abroad, I at last pined for the days there.
