Dr. Li obtained my B.Eng from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2005, and Ph.D from Nanyang Technological University in 2012. Under the supervision of Associate Prof. Sourav S. Bhowmick, Dr Li used to be a member of Centre of Advanced Information Systems (renamed as DISCO now) during 2007 to 2011. He is currently affiliated with School of Computer Science and Technology, Xidian University, and is the director of The Key Laboratory of Advanced Database Technology of Xi'an. His research interests includes social computing, knowledge discovery, graph mining and data privacy in big data. Many of his papers appear in major international conferences including VLDB, SIGMOD, KDD, ICDE, and journals like TKDE, VLDB J, TKDD, TIST, TDSC and etc.

He have been nominated as the Best Paper Award in ACM SIGMOD 2015!
