“Non ridere, non lugere, neque detestari, sed intelligere.“

Hi, I am Shaojie Min (闵少杰). I am currently a PhD candidate at School of Computer Science, Fudan University. I joined DataNET in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Yang Chen. My research interests lies in the domain of social network analysis and complex network systems.

In Jun. 2024, I graduated from Chongqing University with my master degree in Computer Science. During those three years, I was advised and inspired by my supervisor Assoc. Prof. Ji Liu and Prof. Jiaxing Shang.

I have had the privilege of being a cellist with the Chongqing Philharmonic, where I’ve cultivated my belief that music is a form of free philosophy—an expression beyond laughter, sorrow, or condemnation, but a pursuit of understanding. As part of my journey, I have also gained valuable experience working part-time at both Starbucks and Private Cafe.
