Hi! I'm Jiale.

Incoming MSCS @ UC San Diego

Exploring the frontiers of Graph Neural Networks, Large Language Models, and Trustworthy AI.

About Me

I'm Jiale Liu, an incoming Master of Computer Science student at UC San Diego (Fall 2026). I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Huazhong Agricultural University. My academic interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, graph neural networks (GNNs), and large language models (LLMs).

I've been fortunate to conduct research under the guidance of Prof. Zeyu Zhang, and also worked with Prof. Suhang Wang as a remote research intern at Penn State, exploring privacy risks in Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation.

Beyond academics, I enjoy running, table tennis, and traveling. I've visited Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Xinjiang, Tibet, and many other unforgettable destinations.

FAQ

Some things people often ask me.

How do you pronounce your name?
Jiale is pronounced as /dʒiːˈɑːlə/ (like "gee-ah-le"). Liu is pronounced as "leo" in English contexts, but the Mandarin pronunciation is closer to "lyoo".
Why did you choose Computer Science?
I was initially in mechanical engineering, but found myself excelling in computer-related subjects. When AI and LLMs started gaining momentum, I became deeply curious about how these technologies work — and switching to CS was the natural first step.
Why are you interested in Graph Neural Networks?
Graph data structures are fundamental in representing relationships and connections in real-world problems. I find it fascinating to explore their applications in areas like recommendation systems and knowledge graphs.
Are you open to research collaboration?
Yes! Feel free to reach out if you're interested in collaborating on topics related to GNNs, LLMs, or Trustworthy AI.
What's your next goal?
I'll be joining UC San Diego as a Master of CS student in Fall 2026. I'm looking forward to deepening my research in Trustworthy AI, LLMs, and GNNs, and am open to industry internship opportunities.
