First-year PhD student · USC

Muyan Weng 翁牧言

Hello! I’m a first-year PhD student at the Melady Lab, USC, advised by Prof. Yan Liu. Previously I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology (IEEE Pilot Class) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

My research interests include machine learning and data mining, especially, time series problem. I am also interested in the interesting applications of LLMs in recommender system.
