Welcome to my dream academic homepage
About
I am a researcher working at the intersection of graph machine learning, trustworthy artificial intelligence, and structured data modeling.
My recent work focuses on adaptive neighborhood sampling, reinforcement learning driven graph structure optimization, robust representation learning,
probabilistic neighbor selection, and graph purification under noisy and heterogeneous settings.
More broadly, I am interested in developing principled and scalable learning frameworks for graph structured data,
with applications in scientific discovery, recommendation systems, knowledge enhanced reasoning, and reliable decision making.
My long term goal is to build a unified theory and system for adaptive information acquisition in large scale graph learning.

Dreams & Beyond
A few quiet dreams I hope to carry into the years ahead.
Beyond research and equations, I carry a quiet yet persistent curiosity about the world itself.
There are places I long to reach not for achievement, but for experience, to stand in the silent snow of Hemu in Xinjiang,
to feel the rhythm of the road while cycling along the eastern and western coasts of Taiwan,
to walk through the streets of New York where ideas and cultures converge,
and to wander across the vast landscapes of Australia under an endless sky.
These are not merely destinations, but fragments of a larger dream, to witness the beauty of this world with my own eyes,
to understand different lives, and to let each journey reshape how I think, feel, and create.
And perhaps, somewhere along this journey, it would mean even more to share these moments with someone who sees the world in a similar light,
a companion not only in distance but also in thought, someone to walk beside me through unfamiliar cities,
to ride across long horizons, to stand quietly in vast landscapes, and to turn fleeting moments into something lasting.
In the end, I believe that research defines how far we can think, while exploration defines how deeply we can live,
and the most meaningful journeys are those that are shared.
