CS_Professors

Inspired by a Zhihu Question "Can a Chinese PhD graduate find a faculty position overseas?”, and many responses to it, I compiled a list of CS Professors who earned their PhD degrees in China. All information is publicly available and gathered from their homepages. If you find any errors or missing information, please feel free to submit a PR.
