Brief Introduction
Hi, I'm now an Assistant Professor at School of Computer Science, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I received my Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University, Master's degree from Tsinghua University, and Bachelor's degree from Southeast University. I was a visiting scholar at University of California, Santa Barbara. My research interests lie mostly in the area of natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and large language models.
