I am a PhD student majoring in Statistics at Peking University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xiao-Hua Zhou, coadvised by Prof. Zhouchen Lin. I am also a visiting Ph.D student at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS) supervised by Prof. See-Kiong Ng and Prof. Tat-Seng Chua. My research interests mainly include trustworthy recommendation systems and causal inference methods. I have published over 20 papers in top conferences such as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, WWW, KDD, CVPR, and AAAI, and was awarded the “JinDouYun" top talent research intern at ByteDance. I have also served as the reviewer for top conferences and journals like ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, WWW, KDD, SIGIR, ACMMM, RecSys, TKDE, and TOIS.
