Shirley (Xuelu) Chen (陈雪璐)

I am a research scientist at Meta, working on machine learning models for recommender systems on Facebook Newsfeed.

Prior to joining Meta, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2021, advised by Prof. Carlo Zaniolo and Prof. Yizhou Sun. My research interests include graph learning and natural language processing. Before joining UCLA as a Ph.D. student, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Special Class for the Gifted Young at Xi'an Jiao Tong University in 2016.
