Biography

Hello! I am Linhao Luo (罗林浩), a Research Fellow at Monash University. My research interests mainly focus on the areas of artificial intelligence and data mining, especially for the knowledge graphs, large language models, and graph neural networks.
Previously, I obtained my PhD degree in computer science at Monash University advised by Prof. Shirui Pan, Prof. Reza Haffari, and Prof. Dinh Phung, with previous supervision from A/Prof. Yuan-Fang Li. I received my bachelor’s degree in computer science from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. I have also worked at Tencent and Alibaba as an intern.
