Bowen Jin

I am a 4th-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, fortunately advised by Prof. Jiawei Han. Before that, I was an undergraduate student in Electrical Engineering of Tsinghua University, fortunately advised by Prof. Yong Li. During the past, I spent time at Google, Amazon Search, and Microsoft Research (both Redmond and Beijing).

My research is supported by Apple PhD Fellowship and Yunni and Maxine Pao Memorial Fellowship. For further information, please see my CV (last update: 2024.5.6).

Research Interests: My main research lies at the intersection of large generative models (e.g., large language models and diffusion models), multimodal data and information networks. In particular, I focus on how large models can integrate text, network, and multimodal data for solving real world problems including information retrieval and knowledge discovery. My current research interest is LLM alignment.

I am maintaining an awesome github repo on Large Language Models on Graphs with a survey paper. Feel free to have a look!

If you’re interested in my research or would like to discuss relevant topics and potential collaborations, feel free to reach out via email (bowenj4[AT]illinois.edu)! I also welcome inquiries from both master’s and undergraduate students. Looking forward to connecting!

I started to play a traditional Chinese instrument, Sheng at the age of eight. Here is a concert record of mine. Hope you enjoy it!:)

I’m a “universal” ball fan and enjoy working out. If you cannot find me in office, catch me at the gym. 😃
