Biography

I was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu Pronvince. I received my B.Sc. degree in School of IoT Engineering in June 2018 from Jiangnan University. In the same year, I was admitted to study for a M.Sc. degree in School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China without entrance examination. From Sept. 2020, I started my Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Professor Yang Wang. I received my PhD degree of computer science in June, 2023 at USTC.

My research interests include but not limited to Machine learning, Spatiotemporal data mining, Traffic data mining. Our research results have been published on top conferences, e.g., KDD, NeurIPS, ICLR, WWW, AAAI, and top journals (transactions) e.g., IEEE TKDE, IEEE TMC, IEEE TVT.

Education

Research Interests

We focus on four aspects regarding both advanced deep learning techniques and human-centered computing.

Fundamental learning theory for spatiotemporal data forecasting (eg., data property discovery, new designs of GNNs, fairness in learning process)

Model generalization and parameter-efficient transfer, initialized general ST learning (e.g., cross-task model adaptation and transfer)

ST data-driven urban evolution (e.g., prediction and planning on functional regions and social connections)

AI for molecular science (e.g., prediction on molecular interactions, molecular property prediction, and Retrosynthesis)
