About Me

I am a PhD student at the department of Computer Science, University of Toronto. I am fortunate to be co-supervised by Professor Kelly Lyons and Professor Renée J. Miller. I finished my undergraduate and Masters studies in computer science at University of Toronto. My research is situated in the field of data integration and exchange, with particular focus on automatic generation of mapping rules that can facilitate the exchange of information among knowledge bases.

Work History

May 2014 - Aug 2014
SC

Data Science Intern

At Sciencescape (now Meta), I mainly worked on paper recommendation problem:

  • Parsed millions of research papers and produced a proximity map which could be used to identify related papers. Using this map, two papers were related if they were cited in a close proximity of each other in a research paper.
  • Generated a co-authorship graph (contained more than two billion nodes) based on the bibliographic information of the research papers.
