Xi Chen 陈熙             Computer Science Department, Central South University (17th in China, 985 & 211)

Welcome to my homepage, friends! During college, I put efforts in mining a variety of network and designing interactive applications for context, across traffic, society, body area, and e-healthcare. As first author or second author, I publish three papers on SCI journals. I received research training from a MIT alumni. Our survey on data visualization can be accessed here. Later I joined Knowledge Engineering Group at Tsinghua University(KEG), where I am luckily advised by Jie Tang. I also served as the member of an advanced science platform -- Arnetminer. My current research interests are in social computing, ubiquitous computing, and data mining. > Education Background

> Self-Evaluation

• innately drived to explore association.

• capable to think outside the box; spontaneously viewing things from funny and intuitive perspective; used to abstract logic.

• curious about novel knowledge for resolving issues that are practical, interdisciplinary and challenging.

• persistent and passionate; upon decided, will go all out to make things happen.

• cherishing communication and team work, since I believe network essence is that union leads to strength.
