I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Auckland, advised by Dr. Meng-Fen Chiang, Prof. Kaiqi Zhao, and Prof. Sebastian Link. I received my Master of Science (First Class Honours) in Computer Science from the University of Auckland. During my Master’s studies, I conducted research on complex logical query reasoning over hierarchical knowledge graphs, under the supervision of Dr. Meng-Fen Chiang and in collaboration with Assoc. Prof. Wang-Chien Lee from Pennsylvania State University.

My research interests include:

  • Graph representation learning
  • Complex logical query answering
  • LLM reasoning
