Dr Wentao Li is currently a Lecturer at the University of Leicester since 2024. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) from 2023 to 2024, working under the supervision of Prof. Wei Wang. Moreover, from 2020 to 2022, he held the position of Postdoc Researcher at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) under the guidance of Prof. Lu Qin. He completed his Ph.D. study at UTS in 2021, advised by Prof. Lu Qin, Prof. Ying Zhang, and Dr. Miao Qiao. He obtained his master’s degree from Chongqing University in 2016 and his bachelor’s degree from Nanchang Hangkong University in 2013.
His general research interests mainly focus on the areas of big data processing and mining. Currently, He is working on the following research topics:
Data Processing: Graph Processing, Social Network Analysis, Parallel Computation;
Data Mining: Recommender Systems, Vector Databases, AI4DB.
