Biography:

From Fall 2008, I joined in Texas Action Group at Austin and started my Ph.D career under supervision of Prof.Vladimir Lifschitz in Department of Computer Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin.

In July, 2008, I obtained my Master's degree on Computer Science from Multi-agent System Lab, Department of Computer Science, University of Science and technology of China. My supervisor was Prof.Xiaoping Chen.

Previously I got my Bachelor's degree on Computer Science and Engineering from Department of Computer Science, Hefei University of Technology, in July, 2005.

My research interests are generally related to logic-based artificial intelligence, including knowledge representation and reasoning, commonsense reasoning and computational logics. During my master period, I focused on nonmonotonic extension of description logics and their application in the Semantic Web.

Personal:

I like sports, traveling and western classical music. Here are some photos which I took in the past 2 years. I am fluent in Chinese and English. Please feel free to email me in either language if our interests overlap.
