I am now a final-year PhD candidate of computer science. My Ph.D. thesis is jointly-supervised by Prof. Peng Wang at Fudan Univ. and Prof. Themis Palpanas at Université Paris Cité. I enjoy working with labmates of DSM Group and diNo Research group at the same time. Before that, I got my bachelor degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2021.
I have published papers in top conferences and journals of data management, including SIGMOD, VLDB, VLDB J. and TKDE. I also serve as the reviewer of peer-reviewed journals including TKDE.
My research interest now lies in:
1) Analysis and management of high-dimensional embedding vector data, including the data distribution on the vector space, ANN, etc.
2) Next-generation multi-modal databases, which efficiently and effectively supporting semantic retrieval on various representations of multi-modal data.
