Dean of School of Computer Science
Peking University
I am a chair professor and the dean of School of Computer Science in Peking University. I received BS and MS degrees from Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong Unviersity in 1988 and 1991 respectively, and PhD degree from Department of Information Engineering of University of Tokyo in 1996. I became a lecturer (assistant professor) in 1997 and an associate professor in 2000 in University of Tokyo. I joined National Institute of Informatics as a full professor in 2008. I was a full professor in Department of Communication and Information Engineering of University of Tokyo for the period of 2018-2019.

I am Fellow of JFES (Japan Federation of Engineering Society, 2016), ACM Distinguished Scientist (2016), Member of Academia Europaea (2019), IEEE Fellow (2020), and Member of Engineering Academy of Japan (2020).

Research
My main interest is in programming languages and software engineering in general, and functional programming, bidirectional transformation, and software adaptation in particular. I am very interested in transformational programming, and I am looking into how to apply it to automatic program optimization, systematic parallelization of sequential programs, efficient manipulation of structured documents, and bidirectional model transformation for software development.
