I am an incoming PhD student with the College of Computer Science, Zhejiang University. I received a master’s degree from the College of Computer and Data Science, Fuzhou University, under the guidance of Prof. Shiping Wang and Dr. Zhaoliang Chen. During my master’s studies, I had the privilege to collaborate closely with Prof. Hong-Ning Dai from the Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist University. I was also a visiting student at the School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, fortunately to be advised by Prof. Jicong Fan. Prior to this, I completed my B.E. in Computer Science at the College of Mathematics and Computer Science, Fuzhou University, in 2021. My research interests lie in graph-based machine learning and graph neural networks. I have published over 20 papers in prestigious conferences and journals, including NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, ACM MM, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (IEEE TIP), IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (IEEE TNNLS), IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (IEEE TMM), Pattern Recognition, and Neural Networks, etc.
