I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Stony Brook University under the supervision of Prof. Jiawei(Joe) Zhou. Prior to this, I obtained my MS from Univeristy of Michgan, Ann Arbor, fortunate to be advised by Prof. Maani Ghaffari. And I obtained my BS from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I enjoyed the time being advised by Prof. Xinjun Sheng and Prof. Yubin Miao.

I am broadly interested in theory and application of natural language processing, computer vision, reinforcement learning and robotics. My current research interests lie in the areas of natural language processing and reinforcement learning.
