Bio

I am a Ph.D. student at the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University. My advisor is Alan Mislove. I received my M.S degree in Control Technology and Control Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I did my undergraduate studies in the College of Information Science and Technology at Donghua University, Shanghai, China.

My research interests currently lie in the area of online social networks. At a high level, I am working on the measurement and improvement tools towards OSNs privacy, as well as leveraging OSNs for building better information sharing systems.
