Background
Fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU)
Research interests span Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), large language models (LLMs), and their synergies
Specific research includes: enhancing expressiveness and structure-learning of GNNs; integrating GNNs with LLMs to design Graph Foundation Models (GFMs) with focus on architecture, training tasks, and prompting for cross-domain zero-shot graph learning; designing test-time training techniques to strengthen LLM reasoning on graphs; improving Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models by incorporating structural relationships among experts
Interested in applying graph learning and LLMs to recommendation, precision medicine, planning, and reasoning
Actively seeking full-time research scientist positions starting summer 2026
