I am a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei, China. Before joining the university, I was a Research Fellow in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, working on the TeamPlay project under the supervison of Dr. Christopher Brown, and a Research Associate in the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick, working on the PETRAS project supervised by Prof. Carsten Maple.

I have a PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science at University of Warwick, supervised by Prof. Arshad Jhumka. I also received my BSc in Applied Computing from Northumbria University in the Newcastle Upon Tyne, and MSc in Computer Science and Applications from University of Warwick.
