Biography

I (Deming CHU, 储德明) am a final-year PhD student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales. My supervisors are Prof. Wenjie Zhang and Prof. Ying Zhang. Before that, I received my B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from East China Normal University in 2017 and 2020 respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Xuemin Lin (IEEE Fellow).

[JOB WANTED] I am open to an industry developer job in Shanghai, China. I plan to work on systems such as database, vector database, and search engine. Please drop me a line if interested.

During my PhD, I worked on Graph Data Management, focusing on Cohesive Subgraph Mining and Graph Summarization. I have published multiple papers in top-tier venues such as SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, and TKDE. I am also a former ACMer with a gold medal.
