I am a Ph.D. candidate at RMIT University, Australia. Currently, I am aslo a visiting Phd student in EECS Department at The University of Queensland. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Zhifeng Bao, Prof. J. Shane Culpepper, and Dr. Hui Luo. Before joining RMIT, I received my master's and bachelor's degrees from Wuhan University, where I was supervised by Prof. Yuanxiang Li and Dr. Zhenglong Xiang on evolutionary computation.

Research

My research builds data-centric systems that help people discover, integrate, and organize heterogeneous data at scale.

TaxoConf

TaxoConf automates the construction of coherent technical programs for large academic conferences. Given accepted papers, it induces a topic taxonomy from abstracts and uses it to organize papers into thematically coherent oral and poster sessions while jointly minimizing author scheduling conflicts and respecting capacity constraints on session sizes, parallel rooms, and time slots. TaxoConf has helped organize programs for top computer science conferences including SIGIR 2026 and IJCNN 2026.
