I’m a CS Ph.D. candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a member of the IDEA LAB@UIUC led by Prof. Hanghang Tong. Before that, I obtained my M.S. in Computer Science degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and B.Eng. in Automation from Zhejiang University.

My research centers on graph machine learning. If you are interested in my research, feel free to reach out to me via zhichenz@illinois.edu.
