[CIKM’24] Distinguished Reviewer Award

As a researcher, contributing as reviewers is both a duty and a privilege, and I am deeply honored to receive the Distinguished Reviewer Award at CIKM. While reviewing can be time-consuming, it is also an intellectually rewarding experience—offering insights into others’ work and the opportunity to suggest meaningful improvements that help elevate the field.

This recognition is not mine alone; I share it with my dedicated PhD students. Together, we engaged in thoughtful discussions about the manuscripts, giving them a behind-the-scenes understanding of the peer review and publication process—lessons that will help them produce stronger submissions in the future.

What a wonderful way to start the week—with this exciting recognition! Now, back to another kind of review: a PhD candidate.
