Bing Liu (刘冰) Ph.D. Candidate Electrical and Computer Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Email: liubing at cmu dot edu Office: Bldg 19, NASA Research Park [Publications] [Education] [Professional Experiences] [Awards] [Teaching] [CV] My Github @hadoopit

Hi, I am a Ph.D. candidate (expected to graduate in 2018) in the Department of ECE at Carnegie Mellon University.
I work in SPEECH@SV group in CMU Silicon Valley Campus, advised by Professor Ian Lane.
I received my Bachelor degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 2011.
Before joining CMU in 2013, I was at Oracle building big data solutions on Hadoop.
