Short Bio

I am leaving FIU and will be joining Singapore Management University as a SMU Presidential Assistant Professor on July 1st, 2026. I am actively recruiting RA, Ph.D. student, Postdoc, and visiting scholar positions at SMU. If you are interested in working with me, please send me an email (luodongsheng01 [at] gmail [dot] com) with your CV.

I am an assistant professor at Florida International University. I obtained my doctoral degree at the College of Information Science and Technology, Pennsylvania State University, supervised by Prof. Xiang Zhang in 2022 and my B.Eng degree in computer science and technology from Beihang University in 2017.
