Wei You

I am currently an associate professor in School of Information, Renmin University of China. Before joining RUC, I did two-year (2017-2019) postdoctoral researcher in Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, under the supervision of Professor Xiangyu Zhang; and one-year (2016-2017) postdoctoral researcher in School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University, under the supervision of Professor XiaoFeng Wang. I obtained my Ph.D. from Renmin University of China in 2016.
