Wei Jin’s Homepage

Hi there! I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Emory University. I obtained my Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Jiliang Tang. Prior to that, I completed my B.E. degree at Zhejiang University in 2019. I have notable accomplishments such as Snap Research Fellowship, Most Influential Papers in KDD and WWW by PaperDigest, SDM Best Poster Award Honorable Mention, 3rd Place of Fitch H. Beach Award, and top finishes in three NeurIPS competitions. In addition, I regularly serve as organizers, (senior) PC members, and reviewers for multiple international conferences and journals in machine learning and data science such as ICLR, KDD, ICML, NeurIPS, AISTATS, AAAI, IJCAI, WWW, WSDM, CIKM, TKDE, TKDD and TNNLS.

I am actively seeking highly-motivated students for PhD positions starting Fall’24. For Emory students, we have the opportunity to collaborate starting from Fall’23. If you are interested, please send me your CV and all transcripts.

Research Interests:

  • Graph Neural Networks, Graph Machine Learning
  • Data-Centric AI (a nice definition by Andrew Ng)
  • Trustworthy AI: Robustness, Privacy, Fairness
  • AI for Science, AI for Healthcare

Personal

I enjoy many different kinds of sports including running, basketball, ping-pong and tennis. During my undergrad, I got several champions in 400m, 400m hurdles and 4*400m relay races at the university sports meet.

Now my goal is to bulk up and hopefully get a certificate of personal trainer. Let’s see what will happen 5 4 3 2 years later :)
