History
I was born in China in 1987. I graduated from Wuhan University of Technology (WHUT), China with a BSc. degree in June, 2009, and from Huazhong University of Science Technology (HUST), China with a Ph.D. degree in March, 2015. I was a visiting Ph.D. student in MAL supervised by Prof. Altintas between Sept. 2012 to Sept. 2014. Now I am a post-doctoral fellow in MAL since March, 2017.
