About me πŸ‘‹

I’m a CS Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a member of the IDEA Lab@UIUC led by Professor Hanghang Tong. My research interests lie in machine learning and data mining. I am broadly interested in data-centric alignment for heterogeneous modalities, especially graph-structured data and large language models, aiming to develop methods that enable effective and trustworthy cross-domain modeling.
