Lyu Xu

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and I am very honored to be advised by Prof. Qichen Wang. Prior to joining NTU in Nov. 2025, I was a postdoc at Hong Kong Polytechnic University between Nov. 2024 and Oct. 2025, working with Prof. Haibo Hu and Prof. Yifeng Zheng. I received my PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), under the supervision of Prof. Byron Choi and Prof. Jianliang Xu. Before that, I received my Master’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Southeast University. I was also a member of the HKBU Database Group.
