Shui Yu, Professor
University
of Technology Sydney, Australia
Bio
Shui Yu is Professor of the School of Computer Science in
the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at
UTS, the Deputy Chair of the UTS Research Committee, and
is a researcher of cybersecurity, privacy and the
networking, communication aspects of Big Data, and applied
mathematics for computer science.
In 2013, he initiated a new field, networking for big
data, in the networking and communication domain. Shui was
the leading editor of Networking for Big Data, published
in 2015, which supplied an unprecedented look at
cutting-edge research on the networking and communication
aspects of Big Data.
Many of his research outputs have been adopted by
industry, for example, the auto scale strategy of Amazon
Cloud against distributed denial-of-service attacks.
As the corporate world has increasingly adopted new
technologies to analyze and store vast amounts of data in
a bid to generate valuable insights and unlock strategic
value, Shui has concentrated on the privacy and security
concerns associated with big data.
Among other issues, he has researched security issues
associated with smart grids, which present opportunities
to help solve the problems of carbon emissions and the
energy crisis.
He has also investigated creating anonymous transactions
on Blockchain to deal with threats to users' privacy. His
anonymous communication work for web browsing privacy has
been cited by more than 200 US patents.
He has published two monographs and edited two books, and
produced more than 600 technical papers, published in top
journals such as IEEE TPDS, TC, TIFS, TMC, TKDE, TETC,
ToN, and INFOCOM. His h-index is 80.
Shui serves his research communities in various roles,
including serving on the editorial boards of IEEE
Communications Surveys and Tutorials, IEEE Communications
Magazine and the IEEE Internet of Things Journal, among
others.
He has been a member of organizing committees for many
international conferences, such as the publication chair
for IEEE Globecom 2015, IEEE INFOCOM 2016 and 2017, TPC
chair for IEEE Big Data Service 2015, and general chair
for ACSW 2017.
He served as a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE
Communications Society (2018-2021). He is a Distinguished
Visitor of IEEE Computer Society (2022-2024), a voting
member of IEEE ComSoc Educational Services board, and an
elected member of Board of Governors of IEEE
Communications Society and IEEE Vehicular Technology
Society, respectively. He is a Fellow of IEEE.

Overseas participants should check if they need to apply for a Chinese visa.
In 2025, China has expanded its visa-free access to additional countries. Building on last year's inclusion of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia, the list now also includes Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Australia, and Poland.
Moreover, citizens of the following 54 countries and regions can enjoy a 144-hour visa-free transit policy when visiting Chengdu(via Tianhe Airport): Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, Russia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Albania, Belarus, Norway, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
To the best of our knowledge, to enjoy the 144-hour visa-free transit policy: 1) the passport must have a minimum validity of 3 months; 2) no previous record of being denied a Chinese visa; 3) the departure location before arriving in Chengdu and the destination after leaving Chengdu must be in different countries or regions (e.g. from Tokyo to Chengdu and from Chengdu to Hong Kong).
