Ruijie Wang

Postdoctoral Researcher

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at the KrauthammerLab, University of Zurich, with a background in computer science focused on machine learning and artificial intelligence. I also serve as a Research Scientist at the Knowledge Representation Unit (KRU) of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.

I received my PhD from the Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich in 2025. My doctoral work centered on developing efficient, explainable, and generative conversational and question-answering agents using knowledge graphs (KGs), graph neural networks (GNNs), and large language models (LLMs). Before that, I studied at Xi’an Jiaotong University and RWTH Aachen University between 2013 and 2020.

My current research focuses on advancing the reasoning and acting capabilities of large language models, with a particular emphasis on scientific and biomedical domains.
