General Information

I joined Missouri University of Science and Technology as an assistant professor in Aug. 2008. Before that, I was a postdoctoral research associate at Purdue University working with Prof. Elisa Bertino. During July to Sep. 2005, I was a visiting scholar at Aalborg University (Denmark) working with Prof. Christian S. Jensen. I obtained my B.S. from Fudan University (Shanghai, China) in 2002 and my Ph.D. from National University of Singapore in 2007 under the supervision of Prof. Beng Chin Ooi.

My main research interests cover many areas in the fields of database systems and information security. My current research includes geographical information systems, spatial-temporal databases, location privacy, and access control policy analysis.
