Sherirto · Ph.D. student
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Central South University, advised by Prof. Senzhang Wang. I expect to graduate in June 2027.
From September 2025 to August 2026, I joined the Joint Ph.D. Supervision Scheme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a fully funded Research Assistant, supervised by Prof. Chengqi Zhang. I also receive research supervision from Prof. Shirui Pan.
My work brings together graph structure, language, and multimodal information. I develop benchmarks and representation learning methods to study how these sources of information complement one another.
Previously, I interned at Microsoft Research Asia and Microsoft STCA (remote), mentored by Chaozhuo Li and Weihao Han, respectively. I received my B.Sc. in Mathematics from Hefei University of Technology in 2021. Education & experience ↓
Open to opportunities. I am seeking Research Assistant and Algorithm Engineer positions in LLMs, agents, and reasoning.

Stories, music & a little play
Outside research, I enjoy video creation and editing, animation, TV series, and games. I also enjoy the music of Jay Chou and Hebe Tien.
A small surprise lives in the portrait at the top.
