Brief Introduction

My research interests mainly include machine learning and pattern recognition. Currently, I am a professor at the PALM Group, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Southeast University. I received my B.Sc. degree in mathematics from Nanjing Normal University in 2002, and M.Sc. degree in mathematics from Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics (NUAA) in 2005. In 2008, I received my Ph.D. degree in computer science also from NUAA. I was also a member of PARNEC group led by my supervisor Prof. Songcan Chen.
