Hi I'm Guanjie Zheng!

I will join John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University as an assitant professor starting Fall 2020. I obtained my Ph. D. degree from the College of Information Sciences and Technology , The Pennsylvania State University , in 2020. My advisor is Prof. Zhenhui (Jessie) Li. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2015.

My research interest is data-driven intelligent decision making, and its application on spatial temporal data.

I am actively recruiting self-motivated undergraduate and graduate students to conduct exciting research on data-driven decision making and spatial temporal data mining problems. Prospective students are welcome to drop me an email with your CV here .
