Welcome to Graph Research Lab

We are a research team at the School of Computing, Australian National University. Our overarching research goal is to explore and understand graph-structured data. In today’s real-world applications, graphs are ubiquitously used for representing complex objects and their relationships such as cities in a road network, atoms in a molecule, friendships in social networks, connections in computer networks, and links among web pages. We focus on the following research areas:

  • Graph theory and algorithms
  • Machine learning on graphs
  • Bridging graph theory and machine learning
Check out our recent research highlights and research opportunities.
