Jiaxin Mao is now a tenure-track assistant professor at Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China. Before that he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University. He obtained the Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Shaoping Ma and Prof. Yiqun Liu. His research interests lie in the area of Information Retrieval, Web Search, and Applied Machine Learning. With a wider interest in how people interact with the huge amount of information on the Web, he currently focus on User Behavior Analysis for Web Search Engines.He has published more than 30 papersintop-tierconferences and journals in IR, including SIGIR, TOIS, WWW, WSDM, CIKM, IJCAI, and ECIR. He was a recipient of the Best Full Paper Honorable Mention Award of SIGIR 2020, Chinese Journal of Computers Best Paper Award , Best Short Paper Honorable Mention Award of ICTIR 2019, and Best Short Paper Honourable Mention Award of SIGIR 2018. He is the ACM SIGIR Student Affairs Co-Chair since 2018 and he served as an ACM SIGIR Student Liaison during 2017-2018. He also served as a reviewer and PC member for TOIS, TKDE, JASIST, SIGIR, WWW, WSDM, AAAI, CIKM, EMNLP-IJCNLP, ECIR, NLPCC, and CCIR.
