About Me

I received the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in computer science and technology from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, China, in 2004 and 2007, respectively. In June 2010, I received my Ph.D. degree in Geoscience Information Engineering from China University of Geosciences (CUG), Wuhan, China. My supervisor is Prof. Zhihua Cai. I'm also co-supervised by Prof. Charles X.Ling, who is a full professor in the Dept. of Computer Science, at The University of Western Ontario (UWO), London, Canada. My research interests include intelligent computation, evolutionary data mining, constrained optimization, multi-objective optimization and their applications in engineering optimization.
My ISI researcher ID is A-5916-2009.
