Hi, I'm Zhipeng Huang, an Assistant Professor in the Math & Computer Science Department at Suffolk University. Before joining Suffolk, I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer and Data Sciences at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), where I was supervised by Dr. Kevin S. Xu. I hold an M.S. degree from Purdue University Northwest and a B.E. degree from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (南京航空航天大学).
My research interests lie in the area of machine learning and network science, with a primary focus on generative models, social network analysis, and graph-based learning. My research aims to enhance the prediction and generalization of social-relational data. Additionally, I am intrigued by the application of machine learning methods in biological networks to improve organ transplantation compatibility prediction.
