Biography

I’m a first-year PhD student from School of EECS, The University of Queensland (UQ), supervised by Prof. Hongzhi Yin and and A/Prof. Tong Chen. Previously, from July to September 2024, I did a research internship at Tsinghua University, working under the guidance of Dr. Chen Gao. In June 2024, I completed my master’s degree at Chongqing University, under the supervision of Prof. Junhao Wen.

My research interests mainly include:

  • Sequential Recommendation / Session-based Recommendation
  • LLM-based Recommendation
  • Generative Recommendation
  • Shilling Attack

News

  • JAN. 21, 2026We released a new paper on Semantic IDs in Generative Recommendation (An Empirical Study).
  • AUG. 04, 2025We released a new paper on Shilling Attack in Recommender Systems.
  • MAR. 07, 2025We released a new survey paper on LLM Agent in information retrieval.
