About me

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Irwin King (ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, AAAI Fellow). Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Artificial Intelligence from Qian Xuesen Honors College at Xi’an Jiaotong University.

I am particularly interested in knowledge representation and reasoning, recommender systems, and agentic AI.

I’m still working on something that I can present, and for now, I may just share a quote that I really like.

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.

“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”

Any discussion, collaboration, and mentoring (both giving and receiving) are very welcome, and I can be reached at liyifan@link.cuhk.edu.hk.
