About Me
I am a Research Scientist and Research Lead in Megagon Labs. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Computer Science Department, University of California, Los Angeles in July 2020 under the supervision of Professor Carlo Zaniolo. The title of my PhD thesis is "Power, Performance and Scalability for Big Data Query Languages: The Machine Learning Challenge" (Available online here). Before that, I obtained my Master degree of Engineering from Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua Univeristy in 2015.
My research interest lies in the broad areas of database, machine learning and information retrieval. In particular, my research focuses on Database Query Language, Database System and using database technologies to boost the applications in data integration and natural language processing. I am a member of ACM and IEEE.
