Biography

I am an assistant professor in SUFE, working on natural language processing, especially machine translation. I received the Ph.D.  degree from The University of Hong Kong in 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Victor O.K. Li, and received the bachelor degree from Tsinghua University in 2013. I was a visiting scholar with the Tsinghua Natural Language Processing Group and NYU CILVR Group. Before joining SUFE, I worked as a phonetic & semantics researcher at Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab in Hong Kong during 2018-2019. Currently, I am the reviewer for ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, COLING, AACL, ACM TALLIP, JCST.

I have broad research interests in machine learning and natural language processing. Currently, I am mainly working on machine translation and pretrained language model.

Positions avaliable: Master/PhD program students.
