News

I have moved to Carnegie Mellon University as a Lane Fellow since July 2008.

Interests

My research interests in machine learning include Hilbert space embedding of distributions, kernel methods, exponential families, statistical modeling and analysis of networks. I am also working on applications in bioinformatics, social networks, document analysis and computer vision.

Biography

I studied computer science at the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China in 1998. After I obtained my Bachelor's degree in 2002, I traveled to Sydney, Australia. In 2004 I received my Master's degree, and in 2008 my Doctoral degree in computer science at the University of Sydney, Australia. I was also a PhD. student with the Statistical Machine Learning Program at NICTA. My thesis supervisor is Alex Smola who is now a principal researcher at Yahoo! Research.
