Xin is a Professor in the Department of Management & Marketing at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In the 2000s, he studied graph kernels and graph mining. In the 2010s, he employed machine learning methods (text mining, image mining, and graph mining) in empirical studies on e-commerce, opensource software, and financial market. In the 2020s, he expands to more topics on technology and digital economy, such as the efficiency, fairness, and inclusiveness of AI and platforms.

Xin has 120+ publications/60+ journal publications, which are on MISQ, ISR, JMIS, INFORMS JOC, JAIS, DSS, I&M, Nature Nanotechnology, and other channels. He has received about 30 external and internal grants as PI and Co-I. His studies are also used in real-world applications in large banks and Internet companies. He is a senior member of IEEE and ACM, and a member of INFORMS.
