Biography

Rui Li is a first year Phd Student in Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University, advised by Prof.Gene Cooperman and Prof.Devesh Tiwari. Before joining NEU, he was an Algorithm Engineer II in Alibaba Cloud. He received his M.S under the supervision of Prof. Shu-Tao Xia and Prof. Xi Xiao from the department of computer science and technology at Tsinghua University in 2019. And he received his B.S degree in Computer Science from Nankai University in 2016.

His current research interest is to improve the reliability and efficiency of large-scale systems and networks through machine learning methods(e.g., NLP, time-series analysis, log analysis). He used to focus on network traffic classification when he was at Tsinghua University.
