I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Nanjing University in 2011 (supervisor Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou), and then joined the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University as an assistant researcher in 2011.

I am interested in artificial intelligence, particularly, machine learning, evolutionary computation and robotics. I have published papers in international conferences (e.g. IJCAI) and journals (e.g. Artificial Intelligence), and won several awards such as Grand Champion (with other LAMDA members) of PAKDD'06 Data Mining Competition, the best paper award of PAKDD'08, the best theory paper award of GECCO'11 and China Computer Federation Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award in 2011.
