Hi! 👋 I’m Ziyue Qiao, a tenure-track Assistant Professor, PI, and Ph.D. Supervisor at the School of Computing and Information Technology(Computer Science) at Great Bay University(大湾区大学, GBU)🏛️. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), working with IEEE, AAAI, and AAAS Fellow Prof.Hui Xiong. I received my Ph.D. from the Computer Network Information Center, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of by Prof.Yuanchun Zhou and co-supervision of Prof.Yi Du. I have gained industrial experience as a Research Intern at the City Brain Lab, DAMO Academy, Alibaba. I received my B.E. degree from the School of Computing at Wuhan University, working with Prof.Lefei Zhang.

🔍 My research centers on data mining, graph learning, and AI for Science (AI4S). Currently, I specialize in developing parameter-efficient and data-efficient learning frameworks for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Foundation Models (GFMs), addressing challenges in model adaptation, continual learning, and data-centric learning. I also apply these methodologies to real-world applications such as social networks analysis, recommendation systems, and bioinformatics.
