Welcome to my personal website!

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. Ruihong Huang in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. Before that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and obtained my MSc degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern California. I enjoy doing research in the fields of Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning.

My research interests lie specifically in the areas of information extraction, discourse parsing, knowledge representation and reasoning. I am working on applying neural network models (including CNN, RNN, Transformer, BERT and Graph-based neural networks) with commonsense knowledge to practical NLP problems and applications.
