Welcome to My Website
Here you will be able to know about my research interests, download some of my publications and look at my brief CV.
If you are interested in data mining researches especially graph mining, or you have any interesting or crazy idea, let us talk about the subject; We may even start working together.
If you want to know my university, how I became an Ph.d. student of Dr. Anthony, Tung, please click on Research.
Treasure hunting in graphs
I probably have read too many adventure books that I myself has the dream of discovering my own treasure. In my research in graph mining, the treasure I am searching for is special knowledge hidden in graphs.
In academic terms, graph mining is to discover meaningful patterns (be it groups of vertices, edges or sub-graphs). Many domains need output from the graph mining results. E.g. To discover similar functionality, biologists always focus on highly connected proteins inside protein-protein-interaction networks. My research tells biologists where those groups of proteins are and what they are.
Research Adventure
2004-present | Start the journey of Ph.d
After finishing my undergraduate study at National University of Singapore, I made a big decision to continue my graduate study at the same place where I had already spent four years. However, I decided to switch my research focus from cellular phone network to data mining. That is largely because of the recommendation of my senior, Li Shuaicheng, who is currently actively participating in bioinformatics research. Dr. Anthony Tung became my Ph.d supervisor.
2003-2004 | First touch on research
In my final year of undergraduate study at National University of Singapore, School of Computing, I was curious about how cellular phone works, in particularly the algorithm aspects. As my final year research project supervisor, Prof Leong Hon Wai helped me establishing research foundations. Meanwhile, I got to know numbers of young researchers such as Li Shuaicheng, Ning Kang etc.
