Computing Science doctoral student in the

I am a second year Phd student in ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV (¶¡ÏãÔ°AV) in database and data mining laboratory.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV?

When I was doing my master degree in Chongqing University, I attended a lecture given by Prof Ke Wang who is a professor in ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV and we had academic cooperation after that. Then, I came to be his Phd student.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?

The research level here is top around the world, especially in computing science research area.

WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV?

The academic atmosphere here is good. Students and teachers have a very high taste in research. Instead of agreeing to publish low-level papers to achieve a quantitative advantage, they focus on high-level research and focus on the quality of the papers. They believe that one good paper is better than ten mediocre papers.
