Bio

I have been a Lead Faculty of Computer Science at Franklin University since July, 2008. I currently chair the B.S. in Computer Science (since May 2012) and the M.S. in Computer Science (since May 2015) programs. I received a Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Science from Fudan University (Shanghai, China) in 1997 and 2000 respectively, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 2008 where my advisor was Dr. Monica Brockmeyer.

My current interests include distributed systems, applications of AI, and Computer Science education.

Footnotes

• About the Robert L. Bailey Teaching Award

  Each trimester, two faculty members are honored with the Robert L. Bailey Teaching Award. Graduating students are asked to identify one undergraduate and one graduate faculty member who had the most significant influence on them throughout their educational experience at Franklin University. The award recognizes those who have challenged students intellectually and guided them in finding the significance of the course content as it relates to them both personally and professionally.
  While more than 100 graduate and undergraduate faculty members are nominated each trimester – clearly showing the magnitude of interaction between students and faculty at Franklin University – the faculty members receiving the most nominations are awarded this honor.
  These awards are funded through an endowment established by State Auto Insurance Companies in recognition of Robert L. Bailey, who served State Auto for 28 years in various positions, including President, CEO, and Chairman, until his retirement in 2000. Bailey is also a past Chair and a Trustee Emeritus of Franklin University's Board of Trustees. ↵
