Hi there! I am Yubin Xiao (肖钰彬). I completed my Ph.D. at Jilin University (2021-2025), under the supervision of Prof.You Zhou and Dr. Di Wang. Previously, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University (2023.11-2024.11).

My research interests include learning to optimize, aka neural combinatorial optimization (NCO), where we exploit Deep Learning (e.g., Reinforcement Learning and LLM techniques) to solve the classic Combinatorial Optimization Problems. I am also interested in Automatic algorithm design and Domain Adaptation/Generalization.
