About Me

I am currently an Associate Professor with the College of Computer Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China. Prior to that, I got my Ph.D degree from Zhejiang University in 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Jian Wu and Prof. Zhou Zhao. I have been visiting Shenzhen Research Institute, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China (working with Prof. Zibin Zheng) in 2014, University of Technology Sydney, Australia (working with Prof. Guandong Xu) in 2016, and University of Illinois Chicago, USA (working with Prof. Philip S. Yu) in 2018. At HUST, I lead the ONE Lab, dedicated to empowering machines to interact with the physical world through a unified natural language interface—Language + X, where X can be code, vision, tables, etc.

(I am looking for highly-motivated under-graduate students with a strong passion to work with me. If interested, please drop me a message by email.)
