About me
From Jan 2025, I start working as a Research Scientist at Tencent America. Feel free to reach out if you want to apply for internship.
I obtained my PhD degree at the University of Notre Dame. My supervisor is Professor Xiangliang Zhang.
Prior to Notre Dame, I got my B.E. degree in Computer Science at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and my M.S degree in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
My research interests include Natural Language Processing, Mathematical Question Answering, Large Language Models, Multimodal Reasoning, etc.
