I am a 3rd-year PhD's student at the USTC Lab for Data Science, supervised by Prof. Xiangnan He and Prof. Fuli Feng. I received my bachelor's degree in the School of Information Science and Technology at USTC. Now, my research interest lies in Large Language Model based Agent, Out-of-Distribution Generalization and Recommendation System. Moreover, I have served as invited reviewer for ACM TOIS and IEEE TKDE, PC memeber for WSDM and AAAI.
