PhD Student

Tianyi is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University. His advisor is Professor Charalampos Tsourakakis from the data mining group. Tianyi started his PhD in September 2019, and his main research focus is on graph mining. His recent research interests including subgraph discovery and node embedding. Besides, he has research experiences about Android malware detection with features extracted from function call graph (undergrad project) and LSTM based dynamic analysis sequence (Google intern project). Tianyi received his BS in Software engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2017, and MS in Computer Science from Boston University in 2019.
