Introduction

My name is Quan Zou, and I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science in Xiamen University, located in Xiamen, a beautiful city in P.R.China. I born in 1982, received the Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and Economics at the same time in 2004, and received PH.D. Degree in 2009 from the School of Computer Science and Technology in Harbin Institute of Technology

Research Interests

I have many research interests, including bioinformatics, data mining, web access log analysis, scalable and imbalance data classification, among which bioinformatics is my core research area. Now I am particularly interested in the Next Generation Sequencing Data Mining with Hadoop.

Research is for fun. Some other topics may attract me in the future, and I may also lose interests in the above problems. In short, these are just my current interests. I am a person who would like to learn new technology and challenge new problems.
