Assistant Professor

Tongji University

Biography

Sheng Xiang (向声) is currently a tenure-track assistant professor (Ph.D. Supervisor) at School of Computer Science and Technology, Tongji University. I obtained Ph.D. degree at University of Technology Sydney (UTS), supervised by Prof.Ying Zhang. Prior to now, I obtained my Bsc Degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

I specialize in learning-based graph simulation for data management (VLDBJ'21, ICDE'22, ICDE'25, TBD'25), spatio-temporal and uncertain data mining (AAAI'20, TKDE'21, CIKM'22, AAAI'23, TKDE'23), and multimodal data generation (PR'22). Now I mainly focus on Financial Graph Simulation, Generative AI Systems, and AI for Data Synthesis.

I am actively looking for self-motivated Ph.D. (enrollment in 2027)/M.S./Undergraduate students in the areas of Financial Graph Simulation, Generative AI Systems, and AI for Data Synthesis, welcome to contact me at xiangsheng [AT] tongji.edu.cn or xiangsheng1325 [AT] sjtu.edu.cn.
