I am a researcher in the group of System and Network Engineering (SNE) at University of Amsterdam. I studied in Nanjing Normal University (1989~1993, NJNU), East China Normal University (1993~1996, ECNU) for a bachelor and master degree respectively. I obtained a Ph.D. (2004) from University of Amsterdam (UvA).

I have strong research interests in advanced computing and network technologies, and in utilizing those technologies in different application fields. I have focused on the subject of e-Science Workflow management systems and network QoS during the past years. Using software agent technologies, I developed an integration framework called the VL-e workflow bus for collaborative computing among different workflows, and tools for network resources selection and provisioning in the context of e-Science workflow. Currently, I focus on the interoperability among different advanced infrastructure for supporting big data applications.

My research interests include e-Science workflow management, advanced network, Cloud computing, things of internet, distributed interactive simulation systems and e-Science, and I have involved in a number of EU and Dutch funded projects, such as Envri, CineGrid, Geyses, CrossGrid and VL-e.
