About Me

From July 2016, I started to work as a researcher in Rolls-Royce@NTU Corporate Lab. My new homepage is here

From 2013, I study as a PhD student in School of Computer Science, University of Adelaide. My supervisors are Dr. Claudia Szabo and Prof. Michael Sheng.

In 2010, I was granted Bachelor of Computer Science, by University of New South Wales. In 2012, I received my Master degree of Computer Science, in University of Adelaide.

Research Interest

My research interests include large-scale sensing data analysis, the Internet-of-Things, social network-based object monitoring and event detection, Bayesian prediction techniques, and cloud computing.
