Jingbo Xu 徐静波 - DAMO Academy, Alibaba Group

I am a staff engineer at the Data Analytics and Intelligence Lab, Alibaba DAMO Academy. I also worked as a joint postdoctoral researcher of Alibaba and Peking University, co-supervised by Dr. Jingren Zhou and Prof. Wenxin Li in 2019-2021. Before joining Alibaba in Nov. 2018, I was a co-founder and the CTO of 7Bridges Ltd. I obtained my PhD degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Wenfei Fan. I received my master's degree from Beihang University. My research interests include graph computing and graph data processing. Recently, I am working on the project GraphScope, a one-stop large-scale graph computing system.

Experiences

2018.11 ~ Current, Alibaba Group, Beijing.

R&D on large-scale graph processing. Recently, I am working on the project GraphScope.
GraphScope is a unified distributed graph computing platform that provides a one-stop environment for performing diverse graph operations on a cluster of computers through a user-friendly Python interface. It makes multi-staged processing of large-scale graph data simple. The analytical engine of GraphScope is derived from GRAPE. GraphScope is open sourced on Dec. 2020 at github. Welcome to join forces with us to build the next generation graph system!

2019.3 ~ 2021.3, Peking University, Beijing.

Worked as a postdoctoral researcher of Peking University (jointly with Alibaba).
Research on the theories, systems, and applications of graph processing in big data.

2018.3 ~ 2018.11, 7Bridges Ltd, Beijing.

Drove the research and development of the graph computation engine, GRAPE.
Many venture capitals were interested in 7Bridges. In Nov. 2018, 7Bridges joined Alibaba.

2011.9 ~ 2013.8, Tencent Research & WeChat(Intern), Beijing.

developed an iOS app named QQVision, a Google Lens like app, to recognize texts and objects in photos. Its feature was integrated to Scan（扫一扫）in WeChat app.
developed the PoC for featured Shake（摇一摇）in WeChat, to recognize TV and music. The feature was deployed in the 2015 CCTV Spring Festival Gala for audience interaction and achieved a remarkable success.
