About me

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the School of Interactive Computing of the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I am advised by Professor Wei Xu. My research mainly focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly in the areas of text revision and multilingual NLP.

Before joining Georgia Tech, I was a Ph.D. student at the Computer Science and Engineering department of The Ohio State University. I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, where I did some research on representation learning for NLP with Professor Kai-Wei Chang. I received my B.E. in Communication Engineering from the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at Tianjin University.

For complete information, please refer to my resume.
