My name is Dandan LIN (林丹丹). I am currently a researcher at Shenzhen Institute of Computing Sciences (SICS). In Jan. 2021, I received my Ph.D. degree in The Department of CSE (Computer Science & Engineering) at HKUST (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), supervised by Prof. Raymond Chi-Wing Wong. Before Joining HKUST, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree of Engineering from SCUT (South China University of Technology) in 2015.
I am a member of the CCF (China Computer Federation) Technical Committee on Databases (CCF数据库专委会委员) and the CCF Technical Committee on Information Systems (CCF信息系统专委会委员).
