I am a Professor (博导) in University of Science and Technology of China. I received B.Eng. from Beihang University in July 2015 and PhD from National University of Singapore in August 2019. I have about 60
publications appeared in several top conferences such as SIGIR, SIGKDD, WWW, and ACMMM, and journals including TKDE, TOIS, and TNNLS. I
received the Best Paper Honourable Mention in SIGIR 2021 and Best Poster Award in WWW 2018. My research interests include information retrieval, data mining, and multi-media analytics, particularly in machine learning
techniques and applications such as causal inference, graph neural networks, adversarial learning, multi-source learning, recommender systems, FinTech, and text mining.
Moreover, I have served as the PC member for top-tier conferences including SIGIR, WWW, SIGKDD, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, and ACMMM, and the invited reviewer for prestigious journals such as TOIS, TKDE, TPAMI, TNNLS, and Nature Sustainability.

1. Hiring tenure-track faculties and postdocs in NLP/IR/DM. Requirements:
- With PhD degree (or graduate soon)
- At least three first-author papers on tier-1 conferences
We provide competitive salary, sufficient funding and student supports, and good career opportunities.
2. Hiring PhD students from USTC and masters. Requirements:
- Strong code ability (C/C++ or Python)
- English (CET-6 score 500+, or equal levels)
- Determination to do high-quality research.
3. Hiring undergraduate interns. Requirements:
- Strong code ability (C/C++ or Python)
- Determination to do high-quality research.
- Experience in big data and AI projects.
- Experience in high-level competitions (e.g., ACM-ICPC and KDD-Cup) will be considered.
I hope every student can receive the core ability of systematically analyzing and solving research/technical problems, meanwhile, have a colorful and healthy life during the study in my group. I encourage students to be communicative and active in the group. I support various group activities, especially sports like badminton, jogging, and basketball. Meanwhile, I will try my best to create internship or visiting opportunities for students seeking such experience.
