Dr. Wu is recruiting motivated PhD students who are interested in Applied Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing Systems. For details, please see this blog post

Biography

Dr. Jian Wu is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at the Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. Before joining ODU, Dr. Jian Wu was an assistant teaching professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at the Pennsylvania State University

Dr. Jian Wu received his bachelor's degree in 2004 from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Physics and Astronomy. He graduated from the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Pennsylvania State University in August 2011. After that, he joined the CiteSeerX team led by Dr. C. Lee Giles. Jian Wu is the tech leader of the CiteSeerX project. He led a small team to scale the CiteSeerX collection from 3 million to 10 million academic documents. 

Dr. Jian Wu has published nearly 30 20 peer-reviewed papers in ACM, IEEE, AAAI conferences, receiving one best application paper award and two best paper nominations. Dr. Jian Wu also processed and analyzed astronomical big data earlier in his career and published 7 journal papers in the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), the Astronomical Journal (AJ), and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS). Dr. Jian Wu was the Co-PI of NASA and NSF proposals.

Dr. Jian Wu has mentored at least 20 students towards their bachelor's or master's theses and teaches two undergraduate level courses.

Publications in Astronomy and Astrophysics

​​

  • My Ph.D. Thesis (public since September 2013). Chapter 2 includes my work on the evolution of the Baldwin Effect using the composite spectra generated from the SDSS. This work was never published except in my thesis because we do not have time yet to finish the whole paper, but the result is interesting and inspiring.
