Web search, social search, and semantic web

Master degree at the CS department of East China Normal University

Work in Shanghai Jiao Tong University from 1986 till now.

Took charge of several NSFC (National Natural Science Foundation of China) and China National High Tech "863" Program projects. And establshed long-term collaborations with IBM China research lab, Micrsoft research Asia, Google, Baidu, and Alibaba to carry out several joint projects the above mentioned research directions.

As the chief coach of SJTU ACM-ICPC team, the teams have won the 2002, 2005 and 2010 ACM ICPC Championships and made SJTU the only world champion team of the contest in Asia.
