About Me

Welcome! I’m Ziyang Yu, a PhD student at Emory University. Before this, I was a senior machine learning engineer at Alibaba Group. I obtained my M.Eng degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Waterloo.

My research encompasses Large Language Models, and Graph Neural Networks. I hold a strong academic background and have contributed to multiple research projects, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the machine learning field.

I am open to potential positions in the China/Canada/United States, including internships and full-time roles. If you’re interested in collaborating or discussing opportunities, please feel free to reach out.

Research Interests

• Graph Neural Networks: Distributed training of GNN.
• Applied Large Language Models: LLM for Biology, LLM for Network.
