Biography

I graduated from the School of Computer Science and Technology of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and received the Ph.D. degree from USTC in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Enhong Chen. I'm now a member of IEEE, ACM, SIGKDD and CCF.
My current research interest lies in deep learning and data mining, with a special focus on data representation learning mechanisms, algorithms and their applications in various scenarios such as:
Sentiment Analysis
Text-to-image Synthesis
AI for Medical
