Hi there! I’m a 4-th (final) year Ph.D. student of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU), advised by Prof. Jiliang Tang. I completed my B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering at Zhejiang University. My research interests lie in Data-Centric AI (a nice definition by Andrew Ng) and Graph Machine Learning. Revolving around these, I recently study the following topics:

• Data-Centric AI for GNN Scalability: ICLR’22, KDD’22
• Data-Centric AI for GNN Security: KDD’20, AAAI’21, WSDM’22, ICLR’23
• Interdisciplinary Research (Sinlge-Cell Analysis): KDD’22, arXiv’22, bioRxiv’22, NeurIPSWorkshop’22
• Model-Centric Robust Graph Machine Learning: WSDM’21, ICML’21, NeurIPS’21, KDD Explorations’20.

In addition, I also explore problems related to self-supervised learning (ArXiv’20, ICLR’22) and deep GNNs (KDD’22).

Personal

I enjoy many different kinds of sports including running, basketball, ping-pong and tennis. During my undergrad, I got several champions in 400m, 400m hurdles and 4*400m relay races at the university sports meet.

Now my goal is to bulk up and hopefully get a certificate of personal trainer. Let’s see what will happen 5 4 3 2 years later :)
