I am currently a research fellow at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, working under the supervision of Prof. Xiaokui Xiao. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in June 2025 from the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China, under the guidance of Prof. Zhewei Wei. Between October 2024 and May 2025, I was a visiting student at the Technical University of Munich, where I collaborated with Prof. Stephan Günnemann. Prior to my Ph.D., I earned a B.E. degree in Software Engineering from the School of Computer Science at Central South University in June 2020.

My research focuses on Spectral Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), particularly leveraging spectral properties to enhance GNN performance and interpretability. I am also exploring Graph Transformers, combining attention mechanisms with graph models for more efficient graph-based data processing. Additionally, I am passionate about AI for Science (AI4Science), applying machine learning techniques to accelerate scientific discovery in fields like materials science, biology, and chemistry.
