About

I am a Ph.D. candidate majoring in Software Engineering at School of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Zhengzhou University. My research interests include data mining and machine learning, with a particular focus on recommender systems, graph representation learning, and information bottleneck. I have published and co-authored some research papers in several top journals and conferences.

I look forward to collaborating in the field of Recommendation and Graph Learning.

I am also seeking self-motivated collaborators.

Feel free to contact me via Email.
