Long Yuan

Long Yuan is currently a Professor at the school of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST). Before joining NJUST, he was a Research Associate in the Data and Knowledge Research Group at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, from 2017 to 2018. In 2017, he obtained his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from UNSW, under the supervision of Prof. Xuemin Lin, with Prof. Lu Qin as co-supervisor. Prior to that, he got his master’s/bachelor’s degree from Sichuan University in 2010/2013, both in Computer Science.

Long’s research interests lie in intelligent big data analytics, especially for the graph/network data.

Postgraduate Positions Available: I am looking for self-motivated students to join my group. You may refer to the status of my former/current students. You can send an email to me with your CV.
