Jiliang Tang is an assistant professor in the computer science and
engineering department at Michigan State University since Fall@2016. Before that, he was a research scientist in Yahoo Research and got his PhD from Arizona State University in 2015. His research
interests include social computing, data mining and machine learning and their applications in education. He was the recipient of 2020 ACM SIGKDD Rising Star Award, 2020 Distinguished Withrow Research Award, 2019 NSF Career Award, and 7
best paper awards (or runner-ups) including WSDM2018 and KDD2016. His
dissertation won the 2015 KDD Best Dissertation runner up and Dean's
Dissertation Award. He serves as conference organizers (e.g., KDD, SIGIR, WSDM
and SDM) and journal editors (e.g., TKDD and ACM Books). He has published his research in highly
ranked journals and top conference proceedings, which have received tens of
thousands of citations with h-index 59 (Google Scholar) and extensive media coverage (Links).
