Cong Gao

I am an Associate Professor with Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications (Dec 2015 ~ present). My current interests include data science, AI/autonomous driving, computer networks, and Linux, etc. Before I started the job, I did my bachelor, master's and PhD study at school of computer science and technology, Xidian University.

Currently (Jan 2024 ~ present), I am a visiting scholar at James Cook University in Australia.

Books

The first book and the second book are mainly based on my research when I am with Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications, while the third one is mainly based on my research when I pursued my PhD in Xidian University.

Research

I am interested in anomaly detection of time series and data mining in the field of smart manufacturing. Besides, I think autonomous driving is also quite attractive.
