Short Bio
I am currently a Postdoc Researcher at Search Labs, a Microsoft Research group headed by Rakesh Agrawal. My research interests are in social networks and Web search/mining. Previously, I was conferred Ph.D. and B.Eng (1st Class) degrees by the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. I pursued my Ph.D. thesis in the area of social network mining from user-generated content under the supervision of Ee-Peng Lim and HweeHwa Pang. I was also a recipient of several fellowship awards, including A*STAR Graduate Scholarship for my PhD studies and Dr Goh Keng Swee Scholarship award for my undergraduate studies.
