Who am I

I am a PhD student in College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. I received my Master's degree in Computer Science from University of Kentucky in 2006 and my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University, China in 2004.

 

My advisor is Guy Lebanon. My research area is statistical machine learning and visualization. I am particularly interested in modeling and visualizing preference ranked data.
