Bio

大家好!Hi everyone! I am currently a 4th year Ph.D. student in Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University. My advisor is Dr.Hongyang Gao. Before arriving at the Iowa State University, I completed my master degree from Department of Computer Science at the George Washington Unversity in 2020. I obtained my Bachelor degree from Department of Computer Science at Wuhan University in 2018, supervised by Dr.Xiaoliang Meng.

My research generally centers around graph deep learning. More specifically, I am currently working on (1) Graph Neural Networks(GNNs). (2) Explainable GNNs. (3) LLM on graph understanding.
