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, KDD, AAAI, IJCAI, ACM MM, IEEE TKDE, IEEE TIP, IEEE TNNLS, IEEE TMM, and Pattern Recognition, etc.
