About

I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in the DB4AI group at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) supervised by Professor Lei Chen (IEEE Fellow). My research interest lies in the intersection of Graph Neural Networks and Machine Learning Systems. I received my Bachelor’s degree (2016-2020) from the School of EECS at Peking University (PKU), where I was advised by Professor Bin Cui (IEEE Fellow) and Professor Sujian Li. I have done several research&engineering internships at MSRA, Tencent, and Baidu.

The pronounciation of my Chinese name is similar to Sheen (for Xin/鑫) Jung (for Zhang/张) in English :)
