Biography

Jialong Han is a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon. Prior to joining Amazon, he worked as a Senior Researcher at Tencent AI Lab and a postdoctoral Research Fellow at School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. He earned his Ph.D. degree from Renmin University of China in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Ji-Rong Wen. He obtained his B.E. degree also from Renmin University of China in 2010. His research interests include graph data mining & management and knowledge graph construction & applications.

We are hiring research interns throughout the year. If you are interested in both solving challenging industry problems and publishing at top venues related to knowledge graphs & natural language understanding, feel free to drop me an email.
