Dr. Jingbo Xu is a staff engineer at Alibaba Group, specializing in graph processing, data management, and distributed systems. Since joining Alibaba in 2018, he has led the development of large-scale graph processing systems, notably the open-source project GraphScope. Dr. Xu co-founded 7Bridges Ltd., a graph computing startup acquired by Alibaba in 2018. He earned his Ph.D. in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh in 2017, under the supervision of Prof. Wenfei Fan. His work has been recognized with many awards, including the Research Highlight Award in ACM SIGMOD 2018, Best Paper Award at ACM SIGMOD 2017 and Best Demo Award at VLDB 2017.
