About Me

I am currently a Research Scientist at WeChat AI, Tencent, focusing on Natural Language Processing (NLP). I graduated with PhD of Computer Science from Emory, advised by Dr. Jinho Choi. I was also co-advised by Dr. Fei Liu in 2023.

Before Emory, I completed my bachelor’s degrees at ECNU and CSU. Following this, I worked as a Software Engineer in US for two years before returning to graduate school.

Research Interests

My current research interests focus around Retrieval / QA / Memory with LLMs.
