DAC Student Spotlight: Jianfeng He

Jianfeng He, DAC Ph.D. student in computer science
Along his educational path, Jianfeng He learned an important lesson: Having a good advisor should be the number one priority in choosing a Ph.D. program. The opportunity to work with Chang-Tien Lu drew him to Virginia Tech and the Discovery Analytics Center after spending a short period of time at another university.
He’s focus is on data analysis of social media and he is currently working on image editing based on user requests and text classification based on machine learning.
This research builds upon an interest that began while He was an undergraduate majoring in digital media technology at the Central China Normal University and required to learn media design software, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and MAYA.
