I am a second year Ph.D. student (2023 Fall - Now) in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Notre Dame. I am supervised by Prof. Yanfang (Fanny) Ye and Prof. Chuxu Zhang. My research interest lies on machine learning, with the goal of developing effective, efficient, and generalizable models. Currently, my research centers on three main areas:

• Graph Foundation Model: I am working on creating a unified framework to address the challenges posed by cross-domain and cross-task graphs (IJCAI24).

• AI Alignment: I am exploring ways to design AI systems capable of handling tasks that are challenging for humans, with a focus on aligning AI behavior with human values.

• Social Events: I am passionate about applying my work to solve real-world problems, particularly in healthcare and social analysis (KDD24).

To Friends: I enjoy engaging in conversations with friends and colleagues. Please feel free to reach out via email if you’re interested in our research, potential collaborations, or just wish to chat :) I am open to scheduling discussions at least twice a week.
