I obtained my bachelor degree in computer science and technology from Yili Normal University, Yining, Xinjiang, China, in 2007. My master degree was in the field of intelligent planning and planning recognition at Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China. In 2010 I began working on my Ph.D for computational intelligence techniques and its applications at Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun, China. I am currently an associate professor in School of Computer Science and Technology at Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, China. In addition, I am a visiting scholar in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta, Canada under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Witold Pedrycz from November 2015 to November 2016. My research interests are metaheuristic optimization methods and its applications in engineering. I just proposed three bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, which are MBO (monarch butterfly optimization), EWA (earthworm optimization algorithm), and EHO (elephant herding optimization). I have published 66 papers in total, including 51 journal papers, 4 book chapter/section, and 11 conference papers. 63 papers are indexed by SCI/EI (44 indexed by SCI, 19 indexed by EI). My entire publications have been cited over 1000 times (Google Scholar). Six of my papers have been cited over 50 times. Two of my papers is selected as Highly Cited Paper by Web of Science, and eight of my papers is selected as Highly Cited Paper by Scopus (till Jan 2016). One of my papers is selected as “Top Articles from Outstanding S&T Journals of China-F5000 Frontrunner”. The latest Google h-index and i10-index of my publications are 25 and 40, respectively. Also, my current RG Score is 28.76. I served as Associate Editor of International Journal of Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications (IJCISIM) from 2016, and an Editorial Board Member of International Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation (IJBIC) from 2016. I served as Guest-Editor for many journals including Future Generation Computer Systems, Memetic Computing and Operational Research: An International Journal. I am a senior member of SAISE, SCIEI, a member of IEEE, IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, ISMOST, Publications Co-Chair of ISCBI 2016, Publications Chairs of ISCMI 2015, Advisory Committee of I3CS 2016, Technical Committee Chair of ICBDA 2016, invited speaker and Technical Committee Chair of ICBDA 2017, and International Program Committee Member in thirty-four conferences.
