I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at Arlington. Currently, I am actively doing research in XML Data Management, Information Retrieval and Peer-to-Peer Computing at XLab at UTA. My PhD supervisor is Professor Leonidas Fegaras. I received my BS. and MS. degrees in Computer Science from Yunnan University, China.

I am expecting to graduate in Fall 2008.  I am looking for an academic job in a university or research lab.
