 Editors-in-Chief

Dr. Ankit Agrawal (Ph.D. 2009, B.Tech. 2006) is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University, USA, and specializes in interdisciplinary big data analytics via high performance data mining, based on a coherent integration of high performance computing and data mining to develop customized solutions for big data problems. His research has contributed to large-scale data-guided discovery in various scientific and engineering disciplines, such as materials science, healthcare, bioinformatics, and social media. He has co-authored 100+ peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, including those at top-tier computer science venues such as KDD, ICDM, CIKM, SDM, ICDE, Supercomputing, HiPC, and interdisciplinary ones like Nature Scientific Reports, APL Materials, MRS Communications, npj Computational Materials, Acta Materialia, Journal of Mechanical Design, Journal of American Medical Informatics Association, Journal of Computational Chemistry, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, etc. He has also developed and released several open-source software, delivered numerous invited/keynote talks, been on program committees of major research conferences, and served as a PI/Co-PI on more than a dozen sponsored projects funded by various US federal agencies (e.g. NSF, DOE, AFOSR, NIST, DARPA, DLA) as well as industry (e.g. Toyota Motor Corporation Japan).


Dr. Timon Rabczuk received his PhD in January 2002 at the University of Karlsruhe. Subsequently, he worked for more than 3.5 years and 1 year as postdoctoral fellow at the Computational Mechanics group at Northwestern University with Prof. Ted Belytschko and at the Technical University of Munich, respectively, before joining the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand as Senior Lecturer. Since 2009, Dr. Rabczuk is chaired professor of Computational Mechanics at the Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany. The research focus of Dr. Rabczuk is Integrated Computational Materials Engineering, Computational Materials Design and Computational (Solid) Mechanics with emphasis on method development. He is particularly interested in Isogeometric Analysis and innovative methods for moving boundary/interface problems as they occur in fracture, fluid-structure interaction, optimization, inverse analysis or image registration to name a few applications. He also worked on uncertainty analysis and multiscale methods and their application to computational materials design. In this context, Dr. Rabczuk has focused on two-dimensional materials and composites. 


Dr. Guoren Wang received the BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees from the Department of Computer Science, Northeastern University, China, in 1988, 1991, and 1996, respectively. He is currently a professor in the School of Computer Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. He was a professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northeastern University, China, before joining Beijing Institute of Technology.
He is a Changjiang Distinguished Professor and a winner of National Science Fund of China for Distinguished Young Scholars. He was the vice direction (2012-2019) of Database Society of China Computer Federation. He has served as PC Co-chair of the 2004 international conference on Web Aged Information Management, and PC members of several international conferences in the database field, such as VLDB, ICDE, DASFAA, WISE, WAIM, APWeb. He is the general Co-chair of the first International Conference on Decentralized Data Technologies and Applications which will be held in China, 2020. His research interests include graph data management, distributed and parallel data processing, big data computing, bioinformatics,knowledge graph and machine learning. He has published more than 200 research papers. He is a member of the IEEE and a distinguished member of China Computer Federation.
