  • Biography

    I received my Master Degree in Computer Engineering from Northeastern University (in Boston). I was a member of Northeastern NLP Group and worked with Prof. Lu Wang (now at UMich). I'm also privileged to work with Prof. Lifu Huang from Virginia Tech.

    I'm generally interested in computational linguistics and natural language processing. My goal is to design methods that can understand human languages of various domains, and also generate factual and coherent outputs, with a focus on long-form discourse (e.g., argumentation, summarization). Recently I am working on improving trustworthiness and creativity of (multimodal) LLMs for various tasks.
