Bio

Yanyan is currently a tenured associate professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). She received her bachelor degree from Peking University (PKU), and obtained her doctoral degree from National University of Singapore (NUS). Her broad research interests include: databases, data mining and machine learning. She focuses on developing efficient and automated solutions to facilitate data analytics in various data-driven application domains including finance, e-commerce, etc. Yanyan has won a few awards, including ICDE 2023 best paper award, VLDB 2022 best reseach paper award, DASFAA 2019 best paper runner-up, APWeb-WAIM 2018 best student paper award, 2020 ACM SIGMOD China Rising Star award, and 2020 Shanghai Technical Invention award. She has served as a PC member of top international conferences such as SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, KDD and been selected as VLDB 2023 Distinguished Associate Editor, VLDB 2019 Distinguished Reviewer, and ICDE 2019 Outstanding Reviewer. She has been invited to serve as Associate Editor of IEEE TKDE, VLDB Journal and PVLDB 2023-2024, Demo Co-chair of ICDE 2023.

Research Interests: complex data analytics, data-driven machine learning, DB for AI.

I am looking for self-motivated undergraduate and graduate students who are strongly committed to research. If you are interested in machine learning, data analytics and management, feel free to send me your CV.
