Qin Xin graduated with his Ph.D (Oct. 2002 – Nov. 2004) in Department of Computer Science at University of Liverpool, UK in December 2004. Currently, he is working in Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Faroe Islands (UFI), Faroe Islands as an associate professor. Prior to joining UFI, he had held variant research positions in world leading universities and research laboratory including Senior Research Fellowship at Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium, Research Scientist/Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Simula Research Laboratory, Norway and Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at University of Bergen, Norway. His main research focus is on design and analysis of sequential, parallel and distributed algorithms for various communication and optimization problems in wireless networks and information management systems. Moreover, he also investigates the combinatorial optimization problems with applications in Bioinformatics and Data Mining. Dr. Xin has produced more than 55 scientific papers. His works have been published in leading international conferences and journals, such as ICALP, PODC, SWAT, IEEE MASS, ISAAC, SIROCCO, IEEE ICC, Algorithmica, Theoretical Computer Science, IEEE Transactions on Computers, and Distributed Computing. He has been very actively involved in the services for the community in terms of acting (or acted) on various positions (e.g., Session Chair, Member of Technical Program Committee, Symposium Organizer and Local Organization Co-chair) for numerous international leading conferences in the fields of distributed computing, wireless communications and ubiquitous intelligence and computing, including IEEE MASS, LCN, ACM SAC, IEEE ICC, IEEE Globecom, IEEE WCNC, IEEE VTC, IFIP NPC, MoMM, IEEE AINA, HPCC, HPC, IEEE Sarnoff, UIC, ICOIN, NTMS and so on. Currently, he also serves on the editorial boards for more than ten international journals. Meanwhile he is a member on Advisory Board of International Association for Computer Scientists and Engineers.
