Fan Guo

	I am a 5th year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at School of Computer Science. My advisor is Professor Christos Faloutsos. And I'm a member of the Database Group. I'm working on a research project to develop data mining techniques for the study of fly embryo image databases, collaborating with Professor Eric P. Xing and his students. I also worked on click models in web search and dynamic network models. I got a Master of Science degree in May 2008 from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Previously, I received a Bachelor of Engineering degree in July 2005 from Department of Computer Science and Technology in Tsinghua Unversity, Beijing, China. I was born in the historic city of Hanzhong. I grew up in the city of Ankang and spent my high school years in Xi'an, Shaanxi.
