Dr. Dapeng Dong received his PhD in Computer Science, MSc in Software and Systems for Mobile Networks, and MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from National University of Ireland, Cork. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communications & Networking at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University. Prior to his current position, he was with the Department of Computer Science, National University of Ireland, Maynooth, as an Assistant Professor. He joined the Boole Centre for Research in Informatics in 2015, conducting research and development on self-organising and self-managing clouds, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme. As a work-package leader, he was leading the project implementation team and co-designing next-generation cloud architectures. Subsequently, he joined the State Street Advanced Technology Centre as a senior postdoctoral researcher working on integration of cloud computing, big data analytics systems and FinTech technologies, and the Science Foundation Ireland CONNECT Centre as a senior postdoctoral researcher researching on resource optimisation and task scheduling frameworks for Edge Computing. His research interests are in the Cloud Computing, Multi-agent Systems, and Big Data Analytics Systems.
