Bolei Zhang

I am an associate professor of School of Computer at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. My research interests include reinforcement learning, data mining, and AI4Science. 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.
