I am an associate professor in the Database and Programming Technologies group (DPT) at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University (AAU). I am a faculty member of the Center for Data-intensive Systems (Daisy), which conducts research and offers education with a focus on data management for various data-intensive systems.

Before joining AAU in 2007 as an assistant professor, I did my PhD study in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS) from 2002 to 2006. Prior to that, I received my BSc and MSc degrees from Peking University (PKU) in 1998 and 2001, respectively.

My current research concerns: indoor spatial awareness, complex queries on spatial data with heterogeneous attributes, and location privacy in mobile services. I participate(d) the following research projects:

• BagTrack/Styr på bagagen (Track of baggage, a project dedicated to improving bag handling in aviation industry globally.)
• Indoor Spatial Awareness (ISA)
• A Spatio-temporal Autonomic Database Engine for location-aware services (SpADE)
