Welcome

I am a sixth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University, working with Prof. Zhou Yu. I am also a member of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Group. My research mainly focuses on natural language generation and conversational AI. Particularly, I am interested in building task-oriented dialogue systems with limited resources.

Prior to Columbia University, I received my B.S. in Physics from Nanjing University and M.S. in Electrial and Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, working with Prof. Sanjeev Khudanpur and Prof. Daniel Povey.

For more details, please see my full CV.
