I am a Professor in the Institute of Applied Mathematics at Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science at at Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where I am also affiliated as a Professor in the National Center for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (NCMIS) at Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the Center for Excellence in Animal Evolution and Genetics (CEAEG) at Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the School of Mathematics, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences at Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in the Key Laboratory of Systems Biology, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences at Chinese Academy of Sciences.

I graduated from Inner Mongolia University with B.S. in Mathematics and Physics (1995-1999). I obtained my M.S. degree from the Dalian University of Science and Technology in Operations Research and Control Theory (1999-2002). I received my Ph.D. in Operations Research and Control Theory from Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science at at Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) (2002-2005). My Ph.D thesis was specializing in optimization model and algorithm for protein structure prediction and classification with Prof. Xiang-Sun Zhang. I carried out postdoctoral research in E-government strategy planning with Prof. Chun-Zheng Wang at the State Information Center in China and later in bioinformatics with Prof. Luonan Chen at the Department of Electronics Information and Communications, Osaka Sangyo University in Japan (2005-2007). After joining Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, I visited the Bioinformatics Program in Boston University as a research associate (2007-2008), the Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC) of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan as a research scientist (2010-2011), Department of Statistics, Bio-X program, and The Center for Personal Dynamic Regulome in Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS) in Stanford University as research associate (2013-2016). .
