Research Experience
  • Serving as a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Computing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, involved in multiple research projects focusing on recommender systems and graph machine learning.
Education
  • Obtained BSc degree in Information and Computing Science from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China and the University of Liverpool in the UK in July 2022.
Background
  • Research interests include Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) as well as their applications in recommender systems. Currently a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Computing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Dr. Fan Wenqi and Prof. Li Qing.
