About me
I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the AI Trust at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I recevied my Ph.D. degree from the Pennsylvania State University under the supervision of Dr. Suhang Wang. I obtained my Master of AI degree from Computer Science Department at KU Leuven. I received my Bachelor Degree from the University of Science and Technology of China.
[Ph.D. student and Research Assistant Positions available]
I am seeking highly self-motivated Ph.D. students and Research Assistants to join my team starting in Fall 2025. Candidates with solid backgrounds in data mining, machine learning, mathematics and other related fields are encouraged to apply. If interested, please email me (enyandai@hkust-gz.edu.cn) your CV and transcript, kindly using the subject line "[Ph.D./RA Application - your name]."
