Assistant Professor
Department of  Computer Science
Georgia State University

Dr. Xiaolin Hu is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Arizona, M.S. degree from Chinese Academy of Sciences, and B.S. degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2004, 1999, and 1996 respectively. Hu joined Georgia State University as an assistant professor in 2004. He is a research advisor of Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation (ACIMS).

Dr. Xiaolin Hu’s research interests include modeling and simulation theory and application, agent and multi-agent systems, and complexity science. Currently, Hu is the lead PI for two National Science Foundation (NSF) funded projects, including a five-year NSF CAREER project on large scale spatial temporal data driven simulation, and a four-year multi-institute million-dollar NSF CDI (Cyber-Enable Discovery and Innovation) project on integrated weather and wildfire simulation and optimization for wildfire management. Besides the two NSF projects, Hu is also working on a two-year CDC-GSU project to develop complex systems science modeling and simulation for studying child maltreatment prevention.

Hu has served as program chairs for several international conferences/symposiums in the field of modeling and simulation, and is an associate editor for Simulation: Transaction of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International. He has published more than fifty technical papers, and gave several colloquium talks in CS departments.

Hu received the NSF CAREER Award in 2009. He also received several other recognitions, including a news report of his research in the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2009, a featured article about his research in Georgia State Magazine in 2007, and a featured article in IEEE SMC Newsletter in 2005.

Hu is a member of IEEE and SCS.
