Biography:
Lin Xuemin is a Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where he currently serves as the Head of the Department of Data and Business Intelligence at the Antai College of Economics and Management. Additionally, Professor Lin is a Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea and an IEEE Fellow. He previously held editorial roles at IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, serving successively as Editorial Board Member, Associate Editor, and Editor-in-Chief, and was an Editorial Board Member for ACM Transactions on Database Systems (2008-2014). Professor Lin has frequently been invited to serve as Program Committee Member, Area Chair, and Program Committee Co-Chair at top-tier conferences in databases and data mining (including SIGMOD, VLDB, SIGKDD, ICDE, and ICDM), notably co-chairing the Program Committees for VLDB 2022 and ICDE 2019. Professor Lin earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Queensland, Australia in 1992, following a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics from Fudan University, China in 1984, where he also pursued doctoral studies in Applied Mathematics from 1984 to 1988. After two years as a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, he joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Western Australia in November 1994 as a faculty member. In November 1997, he moved to the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of New South Wales. Professor Lin has held distinguished visiting appointments as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University and a Guest Chair Professor at Fudan University, and previously served as an Adjunct Professor at East China Normal University.
Prof. Wanyang Dai
Nanjing University, China
Biography:
Wanyang Dai is a Distinguished Professor in Mathematics Department of Nanjing University, Chief Scientist at Su Xia Control Technology, President and CEO of U.S. based (blochchain and quantum computing) SIR Forum (Industial 6.0 Forum), a Special Guest Expert in Jiangsu FinTech Research Center, President of Jiangsu Probability & Statistics Society, Chairman of Jiangsu Big Data-Blockchain and Smart Information Special Committee, Chief Scientist at Depths Digital Economy Research Institute, and Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Advances in Applied Mathematics, where his research includes stochastic processes related optimization and optimal control, admission/scheduling/routing protocols and performance analysis/optimization for various projects in BigData-Blockchain oriented quantum-cloud computing and the next generation of wireless and wireline communication systems, forward/backward stochastic (ordinary/partial) differential equations and their applications to queueing systems, stochastic differential games, communication networks, Internet of Things, financial engineering, energy and power engineering, etc. His “influential” achievements are published in “big name” journals including Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, Quantum Information Processing, Operational Research, Operations Research, Computers & Mathematics with Applications, Communications in Mathematical Sciences, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, Queueing Systems, Mathematical and Computer Modeling of Dynamical Systems, etc. His researches are awarded as outstanding papers by various academic societies, e.g., IEEE Top Conference Series, etc. He received his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics jointly with industrial engineering and systems engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, U.S.A., in 1996, where he worked on stochastics and applied probability concerning network performance modeling and analysis, algorithm design and implementation via stochastic diffusion approximation. The breakthrough results and methodologies developed in his thesis were cited, used, and claimed as “contemporaneous and independent” achievements by some other subsequent breakthrough papers that were presented as “45 minutes invited talk in probability and statistics” in International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 1998, which is the most privilege honor in the mathematical society. The designed finite element-Galerkin algorithm to compute the stationary distributions of reflecting Brownian motions (weak solutions of general dimensional partial differential equations) is also well-known to the related fields.
