I am an associate professor at School of Software Technology, Zhejiang University (ZJU). My research interest includes network data mining, graph machine learning and AI for accessibility.

Advertisements:

We currently have several openings for PhD students (2025 Fall), master students (2025 Fall) and post-doctoral positions (Anytime) on Multi-Modal Learning and Data Mining. Currently, we are highly interested in Visual Understanding with MLLM. Please send me email if you are intersted in the positions.
