Huaxun Huang 黄华勋

Short Bio / 简介

I am an assistant professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, School of Informatics (National Characteristic Demonstration Software School), Xiamen University. Prior to that, I received my PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2023, supervised by Prof. Shing-Chi Cheung. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Northeastern University in June 2017.

I am a recipient of the Ministry of Education Overseas Talent Recruitment Postdoctoral Program (教育部海外引才博士后专项, 2025) and the Huawei Yishan Young Scholar (华为毅善青年学者, 2025).

You are welcome to contact me via email.

我目前是厦门大学信息学院（国家特色化示范性软件学院）计算机科学与技术系助理教授、博士生导师。在此之前，我于 2023 年在香港科技大学计算机科学与工程系获得博士学位，师从张成志（Shing-Chi Cheung）教授；2017 年 6 月毕业于东北大学软件工程专业，获学士学位。

入选教育部海外引才博士后专项（2025）及华为毅善青年学者（2025）。
