I work at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) as an assistant professor now in Beijing.

I graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, and a Ph.D in Computer Science from Université d’Angers, France, supervised by Prof. Jin-Kao Hao.

My research interest includes large-scale combinatorial optimization, intelligent optimization algorithms, big data and artificial intelligence. which are mainly applied in knapsack problems, routing problems and scheduling problems, etc. The main published papers appear in EJOR, COR, ESWA and KBS, etc. I have received several research grants from National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment Corporation (ZTE), etc.
