Yukuo Cen

I am an AI researcher of Zhipu AI, which has recently released ChatGLM App. I am seeking AI/ML interns to work on real-world applications related to social networks using graph neural networks (GNNs) and large language models (LLMs). I obtained my Ph.D. degree in June 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Jie Tang in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University. I got my bachelor’s degree in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University in 2018. My current research interests include graph neural networks and social network analysis. I’m leading an open-source GNN project, CogDL .
