I am a professor at Department of Electronics and Information Engineering, Beihang University. My work is broadly on the design and evaluation of scalable algorithms and data management techniques, with a focus on the underlying computational challenges. The application domains are various, including intelligent transportation systems, complex networks, and bioinformatics. In addition, I have an interest in the robustness and evolution of all kinds of systems.

The results of my research are published in leading transportation journals, including Transportation Science, Transportation Research Part A/B/C/E, Transport Policy, and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, as well as computer science journals such as Future Generation Computer Systems and Information Sciences, and conferences such as PVLDB. A list of recent key publications can be found below.

According to my wide area of interest, I am an active and reliable reviewer for many international journals, including Nature Biotechnology, Transportation Research Part A/B/C/D/E, Transportmetrica A/B, and several IEEE Transactions, such as Vehicular Technology, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and Knowledge and Data Engineering. I also occasionally review for several Computer Science and Bioinformatics journals, given my past research interests.
