About me
Welcome to my homepage! I am a Tenure-Track Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering of Beihang University.
I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2023. I was fortunate to have Prof. Tarek F. Abdelzaher as my advisor and grateful for the mentorship from Prof. Jiawei Han and Prof. Hanghang Tong.
Prior to UIUC, I received my bachelor degree from the Computer Science Department in Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019, where I had the privilege of conducting research under the guidance of Prof. Xinbing Wang and Prof. Weinan Zhang.
My research focuses on trustworthy and efficient AI in open and dynamic environments, at the intersection of language, graph, and time-series data. I develop multimodal foundation models and systems that harness structured knowledge for reliable perception, reasoning, and decision-making, with applications in recommender systems, agents, and AI for science. The recent topics I am working on include:
Reinforcement learning for large language model alignment and fine-tuning (e.g., RLHF, RLVR)
Agentic AI and complex reasoning
Graph-centric multimodal foundation models
Graph machine learning and large language models for scientific computing
Prospective students: We are constantly looking for well motivated students at all level (Undergrad/Intern/M.S./Ph.D.) to work with me. If you are interested in our research, please feel free to reach out to me (ruijiew [AT] buaa.edu.cn). Hiring Details
