Professor Xiaofang Zhou is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Queensland, and Leader of Data Science Research Group at UQ, which includes the Data and Knowledge Engineering (DKE) Group. Xiaofang received his BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from Nanjing University, China, and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Queensland. Before joining UQ in 1999, he worked as a researcher in Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), leading its Spatial Information Systems group. His research focus is to find effective and efficient solutions for managing, integrating and analyzing very large amount of complex data for business, scientific and personal applications. He has been working in the area of spatiotemporal and multimedia databases, data mining, data quality, high performance query processing, big data analytics and machine learning, co-authored over 300 research papers with many published in top journals and conferences such as SIGMOD, VLDB , ICDE, ACM Multimedia, AAAI, IJCAI, The VLDB Journal, ACM and IEEE Transactions.

He has been on the program committees of numerous international conferences, often as a Senior PC member, including SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, WWW, ACM Multimedia, ICDM, ICDCS and AAAI. He was the Convenor and Director of ARC Research Network in Enterprise Information Infrastructure from 2004-2011 (a major national research collaboration initiative in Australia), and the founding chair of ACM SIGSPATIAL Australian Chapter from 2010-2011. Currently he is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, World Wide Web Journal, Distributed and Parallel Databases, Knowledge and Information Systems (since 2017), Springer's Encyclopedia of Database Systems, and Springer's Web Information System Engineering book series. He is the current Chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE, 2015 - present), and the Steering Committees of ICDE, DASFAA, WISE, APWeb and Australasian Database Conferences. In the past he was an Associate Editor of VLDB Journal (2008-2015), IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin, Information Processing Letters (2009-2015), and IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (2009 - 2015). Xiaofang is a specially appointed Adjunct Professor under the Chinese State Qianren Scheme (short-term) hosted by Renmin University of China (2010-2013), and by Soochow University (since 2013) where he leads the Research Center on Advanced Data Analytics (ADA).
