Bolei Zhang

I am an assistant professor of School of Computer at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. My research interests include reinforcement learning, data mining, and their applications in different areas, such as IoT and bio-informatics. More information can be found at Research.

I received both B.S. and PhD degrees in Department of Computer Science from Nanjing University. After that, I worked in IBM Research JD AI lab from 2016 to 2020. I joined NJUPT in June 2020.

You can reach me via email: bolei.zhang [at] njupt.edu.cn.

[To potential students] I am recruiting highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students to do research in the above fields.
