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 research lies at the intersection of large language models, information networks and text/data mining. In particular, I focus on how language models can integrate text, network, and multimodal data for solving real world problems including information retrieval and knowledge discovery.
I am maintaining an awesome github repo on Large Language Models on Graphs with a survey paper. Feel free to have a look!

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. 😃
