Brief Bio
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Purdue University. Before joining Purdue in January 2021, I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. I got my PhD from Computer Science Department at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Jiawei Han.
I received M.E. and B.E. from the Computer Science and Technology Department
at Harbin Institute of Technology
in China.

Research Interests
I am broadly interested in data and information analysis with a focus on data mining. My recent research
focus is on natural language processing, fairness and transparency, computational efficiency, and knowledge
graphs. I am also interested in the applications of data mining in various domains including biology,
healthcare, transportation, education and social science.
