About Me
I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering in Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), where I am advised by Prof. Liang Chen. I received my Master and Bachelor degrees from South China Agricultural University (SCAU), respectively in 2021 and 2019. My research interests include:
Large Language Models (LLMs)
Graph Learning
Trustworthy AI (e.g., Fairness, Reliability, etc.)
🔥🔥🔥 I am in the 2026 fall job market and actively seeking postdoctoral and industry opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me via email (zhuych27@mail2.sysu.edu.cn) or WeChat (id: zyc1402348383).
