Yu Rong (荣钰)

Hi! I am currently a principal researcher at Tencent AI Lab. I am generally interested in developing the novel and efficient graph learning algorithms to tackle real-world challenges, particularly in the realm of social networks and AI for Science.

Prior joining Tencent, I briefly served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I received Ph.D degree at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016, under the supervision of Professor Hong CHENG. Before that I obtained my B.S. degree with honors from Sun Yat-sen University.

Job Openings: ~~I am looking for highly motivated research interns on graph representation learning and AI for Science. The position will be Shenzhen based. Feel free to send your C.V. to me.~~ No head count right now. Sad. Still welcome remote undergraduate/graduate visitors. If you have an interesting topic that I can help with, feel free to contact me.
