About me

I'm a first-year PHD student in Computer Science Department of University of California, Santa Barbara and I'm really honored to be supervised by both Prof. William Wang and Prof. Xifeng Yan. Before that, I spent a wonderful half year in Natural Language Computing Group in Microsoft Research, Asia from Feb. 2017 to Sep. 2017, there I worked with Dr. Shujie Liu, Dr. Mu Li and Dr. Ming Zhou. I have also worked with Dr. Aurelien Lucchi and Prof. Hofmann in Data Analytics Lab in ETH Zurich for half a year. My research interests lie in natural language processing and deep learning, more specifically, I focus on research topics like machine translation, knowledge graph reasoning, semantic parsing and visual captioning.

I am actively looking for Machine Learning/ Data Science summer internship in USA. If you are interested in my background, please do not hesitate to contact me!
