Jianmin Wang

Jianmin Wang, a professor at Tsinghua University, currently serves as the dean of the School of Software at Tsinghua University. He concurrently holds the positions of chairman of CAST UN Consultative Committee on Open Source and Innovation and chairman of the Open Source Technology Committee of the China Institute of Communications. He is the initiator of international open source projects Apache IoTDB and Apache TsFile, and a founding member of the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining.
Professor Jianmin Wang has long been engaged in research on industrial basic software, big data intelligence, and open source. He has conducted in-depth research and practice in the field of open source, and his development of Apache IoTDB stands as the most significant open source achievement. It is also the first Apache top-level project initiated by a Chinese university, ranking at the top of multiple international authoritative database lists. The TsFile time-series data file format he developed became an Apache top-level project in 2020. It establishes a “device-edge-cloud collaboration” architecture, a file format that spans devices, edges, and clouds, avoiding data redundancy and the cost of format conversion. It supports ultra-high compression ratios and built-in AI capabilities (AI in DB). He has published over 300 academic papers in top international academic journals and conferences such as Nature, TPAMI, and TKDE, with his related achievements cited over 70,000 times. He received the Excellent Paper Award at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in 2024 and the Frontier Science Award at the International Congress of Basic Sciences 2025.
Professor Jianmin Wang always emphasizes that open source is not only about the openness of code and models, but also about systemic changes in talent cultivation models, technological innovation paradigms, and industrial collaboration mechanisms. Advocating “intelligence for good” as its purpose, open source lowers the threshold of AI technology through an open innovation paradigm, enabling more people to learn and apply it. Serving the global sustainable development goals (SDGs) with principles of inclusivity, sharing, open collaboration, harmony, respect for privacy, security, controllability, fairness, and justice, it promotes the construction of a more equitable, inclusive, and multipolar cooperation system.
