I received my Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute, Tsinghua University co-advised by Prof. Wenwu Zhu and Prof. Somayeh Sojoudi. I received my Bachelor's Degrees in the Department of Electronic Engineering and the School of Economics and Management from Tsinghua University in 2017. In the past, I was also fortunate to work with Prof. Stratos Idreos as an undergraduate research intern at DASLab in Harvard in 2016, with Yu Rong and Prof. Junzhou Huang as a PhD research intern at Tencent AI Lab in 2018, 2020 and 2021, and with Zhiqiang Zhang as a PhD research intern at Ant Group in 2021. I was also a ZhenIntern at ZhenFund in 2022.

My research focuses on representation learning, adversarial robustness, explainability, and reliability on graph/relational structured data. I am also broadly interested in trustworthy generative AI and knowledge-augmented LLMs.
