About Me

I am currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Computing (COMP), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) , under the supervision of Dr. Wenqi Fan. Before joining the PolyU, I received my Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh (M.Sc. in Computer Science) . In 2020, I got my bachelor’s degrees from Wuhan University (B.Sc. in Chemistry and B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology) . I am a self-motivated person and have a strong passion for scientific research. Currently, my research interest lies in AI4Science, Graph Neural Networks, and Natural Language Processing. I am always welcoming collaboration from solid partners.

Research Interest

• AI for Science
• Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)
