Tian Li
Business process management, Process mining, Probability Theory
I'm a joint Ph.D. student at RWTH Aachen University and the University of Melbourne. I'm passionate about applying process mining and probability theory for business process management. My current research focuses on stochastic process discovery. I'm involved in Ebi, an open-source business process management framework that focuses on stochastic process mining methods.
