Hello! My name is Gang Liu. I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Dr. Meng Jiang. I am glad to be a member of the Data Mining towards Decision Making (DM2) Lab, which is directed by Dr. Meng Jiang.
I received my Bachelor degree in Software Engineering at Southwest University, China, in 2021. When I was an undergraduate, I was luckily advised by Prof. Yong Deng and Prof. Fuyuan Xiao.
For my education and research experience, please refer to my Experience.
Data & Learning Foundations in Graph ML: My research enhances data-centric learning by improving graph data quality with limited supervision [KDD'22], addressing imbalanced learning [KDD'23], and advancing transfer learning [NeurIPS'23].
Model Foundations in Graph ML: I focus on advancing (1) generative models on graphs (Graph Diffusion Transformers); (2) multi-modal molecular representation learning (InfoAlign with cellular data); and (3) multi-modal large language models (Llamole for molecular design).
Applications in Scientific Discovery: We have applied the proposed methods [KDD’22, KDD’23] to discover two new materials with real-world scientific impact [Cell Rep. Phys. Sci.]. I am also interested in developing ready-to-use demos and tools.
I’m always open to collaboration and discussion. If my research aligns with your interests or can contribute to new scientific discoveries, feel free to reach out for a conversation (Contact).
