😊 About Me

I am currently a lecturer at the National Key Laboratory of Information Systems Engineering (信息系统工程全国重点实验室), College of Systems Engineering (系统工程学院), National University of Defense Technology. I am also a postdoctoral researcher at the Lab for Data Science (数据科学实验室), School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (人工智能与数据科学学院), University of Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. Yaonan Wang (王耀南) and Prof. Xiangnan He (何向南). I received the Ph.D. degree from National University of Defense Technology in 2025, supervised by Prof. Honghui Chen (陈洪辉) and Prof. Fei Cai (蔡飞). I was also a visiting Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University from 2023 to 2024, advised by Prof. Yong Li (李勇) and Prof. Chen Gao (高宸). My research interest includes complex networks, graph analytics and recommender systems. I have published over 40 papers including top-tier journals and conferences such as TOIS, SIGIR, WWW, etc. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at panzhiqiang@nudt.edu.cn.
