Eric You XU is a first year doctoral student in Computer Science and Engineering Department of Washington University. He is a graduate research assistant with Prof. Yixin Chen. Now he is working on Artificial Intelligence and Nonlinear Programming, and hopefully, Bioinformatics.

Eric XU received his bachelor's degree in Mathematics (Information and Computational Science) from Nanjing University, China with a number of honors. In Nanjing University, his advisor was Prof. Hourong Qin, a world-famous young scientist in Algebraic Number Theory (Cheung Kong Scholar), who was also the head and dean of the Mathematics Department, Nanjing University. Eric's undergraduate research included Algorithmic Number Theory and Information Theory. Before entering Nanjing University, he had spent three years studying at Yangzhou Middle School, one of the most distinguished middle school in China. He is quite proud of the fact that both Nanjing University and Yangzhou Middle School have had their centennial celebrations held on May 20, 2002 and Oct. 22, 2002, respectively.

As an undergraduate with a little geekiness, he had spent much time in teaching himself EECS. It is said that he has read all of the books in the library of Nanjing University in the category TP.312 (related to Computer Science Theory and Electronical Engineering Theory). Although he wasted his beautiful collage life in the dusky and dusty library, fortunately enough, he finally got an opportunity for studying Computer Science in the Unites States.

In his simple bird's eye view, the scientific world is full of large-scale nonlinear programming problems, especially in AI. His group are now trying to partition the original problem into sub-problems and want to exponentially decrease the total solving time. Now he is working on hypergraph and bi-graph partitioning as well as general larger-scale nonlinear programming solver.
