I just got my B.S. degee in Software Engineering from Beihang University, China. During my third undergraduate year, I started my research work in Social Network Analysis (SNA) in National Key Lab of Software Development Environment of Beihang University, there I participated in the research work in evaluating nodes importance and finding community structure in the network based on data field theory, both of which greatly improved the results. Also, I am interested in data mining (DM), which leads me to join in another research project - name duplication detection in citation network, which combined both the knowledge of SNA and DM, These research experiences active my interests, and therefore I decide to pursue my Ph.D. degree in these fields.
Now I am a new graduate student in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST), Pennsylvania State University. I am currently working with Dr. John Yen in the Laboratory for Intelligent Agents. I just started my research work, but I hope I can enjoy my work there!
Hi Qi. Wonderful experience in SNA! I should learn a lot from you. :)
Finally, I can make some response which I wanted to long time ago.
Thank you for your comment. I did some work on social network analysis before, but I think I am still a starter in this area. Hope both of us will enjoy the research work in social network analysis!
