Biography

I'm currently a Tenure-Track Associate Professor at the School of Data Science (SDS) of the Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR, China. Between 2018 and 2024, I worked as a Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor and Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), China. Before joining SUSTech, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL, UK) and University of Essec (UoE), UK. I received my Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science from the Inria Saclay and the Université Paris-Saclay (France) in December 2015 and a Master degree in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics from the École Polytechnique and the Université Paris-Sud (France) in 2013. My research interests include, but not limited to, AI in Games (AI for playing games, AI for designing games, particularly procedural content generation), fair machine learning, optimisation under uncertainty (derivation-free optimisation, dynamic resampling strategies, algorithm portfolio), evolutionary computation and its applications, such as vehicle routing problems.

If you are interested, please send me your detailed CV.

If you are interested in doing a PhD with me at Lingnan University (Hong Kong SAR), there are two ways (scholarships). Note that the application submission deadline for Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme 2025 has passed. However, I'm recruiting a PhD student with full scholarship and self-funded MPhil/PhD students for direct admission in September 2025.

* If you are interested in working on AI in games, please take a look at our survey ``Deep Learning for Procedural Content Generation'' and the Game AI book before contacting me.
