Harry Shomer

I’m a final year PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. I am advised by Dr. Jiliang Tang in the DSE Lab. Before joining MSU, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science at CUNY – Brooklyn College. My work has been published at top conference including NeurIPS, ICLR, KDD, EMNLP, TheWebConf, ACL, and CIKM. I have also received numerous awards including the MSU Engineering Distinguished (EDS) fellowship and the NRT-IMPACTS fellowship.
I will be joining the CSE Department at UT Arlington as a tenure-track assistant professor in Fall’25. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to work together!
Research Interests:
- Machine Learning on Graphs
