Short Bio

At present, Professor Hong Qin is a Full Professor (with tenure) of Computer Science in Department of Computer Science at State University of New York at Stony Brook (Stony Brook University), where he is also a member of SUNYSB's Center for Visual Computing. He received his B.S. (1986) degree and his M.S. degree (1989) in Computer Science from Peking University in Beijing, China. He received his Ph.D. (1995) degree in Computer Science from the University of Toronto. During 1989-1990, he was a research scientist at North-China Institute of Computing Technologies. During 1990-1991, he was a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After he received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Toronto in September 1995, he was a research scientist in Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto during September-December 1995. From December 1995 to 1997, he was an Assistant Professor of Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the University of Florida. From September 1997 to July 2001, he was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at State University of New York at Stony Brook. From August 2001 to July 2006, he was an Associate Professor (with tenure) at State University of New York at Stony Brook. He received the Honor Student Award from 1983 to 1986 and the Best Graduate Award in 1986 from Peking University.
