I am a final year PhD student at the USTC Lab for Data Science, supervised by Prof. Xiangnan He and Prof. Xiang Wang. My research interest lies in graph anomaly detection and molecular / drug discovery. I have multiple publications that appear in top-tier conferences including WSDM (Oral), WWW, NeurIPS and ICDE.
