I am a PhD student at Université Paris Cité, working with Prof. Themis Palpanas. Before that, I got my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from Fudan University, working with Prof. Wei Wang and Prof. Peng Wang.

It has been my great honor and big pleasure to also work with Prof. Ke Li at Simon Fraser University, Prof. Nick Koudas at the University of Toronto, with Prof. John Paparrizos at the University of Chicago (remote), with Prof. Reynold Cheng at the University of Hong Kong, and with Prof. Jianmin Wang and Dr. Chen Wang at Tsinghua University.

My research interest lies in the intersections between 1) massive data series analytics and management systems and 2) modern machine learning and deep learning tools, as well as their interdisciplinary applications in neuroscience.
