I am currently an associate professor (PhD supervisor) in the College of Computer Science at Beijing University of Technology (BJUT). IEEE Senior Member and CCF Senior Member. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Beijing University of Technology in June 2020. Prof. Junzhong Ji serves as my primary Ph.D. advisor, and I am jointly supervised by Prof. Aidong Zhang at the University of Virginia.

My research interests are in the general areas of machine learning, data mining and brain science, with a current focus on developing novel techniques to learn the brain effective connectivity networks from neuroimaging data.

Openings: I am looking for motivated students (including PhDs and masters) working in data mining and machine learning. If you are interested in joining my group, please send me your CV. (拟招生2027年秋季入学博士1名，硕士2名)
