Professor Xiaofang Zhou is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Queensland. He is the Head of the Data and Knowledge Engineering Research Division at UQ, a Chief Investigator of Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics, and the Convenor and Director of ARC Research Network in Enterprise Information Infrastructure (a major national research collaboration initiative in Australia).
Xiaofang received his BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from Nanjing University, China, and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Queensland. Before joining UQ in 1999, he worked as a researcher in Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO),
leading its Spatial Information Systems group. His research focus is to
find effective and efficient solutions for managing, integrating and
analyzing very large amount of complex data for business, scientific
and personal applications. He has been working in the area of spatial and multimedia
databases, data quality, high performance query processing, Web
information systems and bioinformatics, co-authored over 160 research
papers with many published in top journals and conferences such as
SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, ACM Multimedia, The VLDB Journal, ACM Transactions
and IEEE Transactions. He was the Program Committee Chair of IFIP
Conference on Visual Databases (VDB 2002), Australasian Database
Conferences (ADC 2002 and 2003), International Conference on Web
Information Systems Engineering (WISE 2004), Asia Pacific Web
Conferences (APWeb 2003 and 2006), International Conference on
Databases Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA 2009). He has been on the program committees of over
100 international conferences, including SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE and WWW.
Currently he is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on
Knowledge and Data Engineering, World Wide Web Journal, Information
Processing Letters, Encyclopedia of Database Systems and Web
Information System Engineering book series by Springer.
