I am an Assistant Professor of Teaching @ Department of Computing and Decision Sciences, Lingnan University

Prior to joining Lingnan University, I was an Assistant Professor at Chu Hai College of Higher Education from 2018 until 2022.

I obtained the BSc degree and Ph.D degree in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong in 2012 and 2017 respectively. I was a visiting student with the Multi-Agent Laboratory at Kyushu University in 2016.

My primary researches are focusing on algorithmic mechanism design in social choice theory and various resources allocation problems.

Teaching

Taught Courses

2022 - Current (Lingnan University)

CDS1001

Introduction to Programming for Data Science

To introduce the basic connects of data science and providing students with fundamental knowledge of programming in the Python programming language.

CDS3001

Databases and Data Warehouses

To introduce the concepts of database and data warehouse. Students will recognize the difference between database and data warehouse. And they will become familiar with various types of database, such as object-oriented, relational, NoSQL and NewSQL. The course will provide an understanding of the database management system, especially how to use the SQL to manipulate the database management system. And how to design and build a data warehouse.

CDS3008

Business Analytics for e-Business

To provide the fundamental concepts of business analytics and its applications for eBusiness. Students will participate in the workflow of the business analytics process and understand different business analytics methods

CDS4001

Best Practices of Data Science

To provide a crystal understanding of the whole data science process, combining theoretical concepts with real-life data science problems. Through the case studies in different domains, students will learn how to solve analytically complex data problems by using a blend of data inference, algorithm development, and technical skills step by step. Students will learn concepts, techniques, and tools they need to deal with various facets of data science practice, including data collection and integration, exploratory data analysis, predictive modeling, descriptive modeling, data product creation, evaluation, and effective communication.

CDS522

Business Data Management

To describe the advanced concepts and principles of data management for business. Various types of databases will be discussed in this course. Popular database management systems such as Microsoft SQL Server and/or Oracle will be described. It also covers the essential concepts, options, and best practices for data administration, data protection, privacy control, user security and management, and system configurations.

CDS529

Project for Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics
