About me

Hello! I am a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), advised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li. I am also fortunate to work closely with Dr. Yi Cheng and Dr. Jiashuo Wang. Before joining PolyU, I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Wuhan University (WHU), where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Zuchao Li and Prof. Hai Zhao from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I also interned with the AI Reasoning Group at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), where I worked with Dr. Yeyun Gong and Dr. Xiao Liu.

My research interests broadly lie in NLP for Social Good. I am currently working on memory for personalization. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in potential collaborations.
