About me

Hi!👋 My name is Zhuowen Liang (梁卓文), I will join the DSA, Information Hub at HKUST(GZ) in September 2025 as a PhD student. Now I am currently a final year undergraduate majoring in Computer Science and Technology at South China University of Technology(SCUT). I am also a research assistant in Data Intelligence and Analytics Lab at HKUST(GZ), advised by Prof. Nan Tang. Previously, I joined HKUST-CIVAL group at HKUST(GZ), advised by Prof. Wei Zeng.

My current research lies on Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG) and Data-Centric AI. I used to leverage knowledge graph to enhance RA-LLMs for multifaceted literature analysis and currently explore the Structured Reasoning combined with RAG. I am also very interested in research fields including Data Mining, Database, Machine Learning and Multimodal Alignment.
