About

I am a first-year PhD student at LTL, University of Cambridge, advised by Prof. Anna Korhonen.

I did my Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering from Zhejiang Univeristy, also member of the Chu Kochen Honors College. During my undergraduate studies, I am grateful to be advised by Prof. Yue Zhang with my research intern at Westlake University, and I spent one semester as an exchange student in Cornell University, where I worked as a research assistant in CommCollabTech. I did a research internship in Yale University under the supervision of Prof. Arman Cohan. I spent my last year visiting University of Oxford, which was loads of fun.

I am broadly interested in Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics and naturally Natural Language Processing. My previous research experience includes cross-lingual summarization, multi-document summarization, and analysis of LLMs. I am open to explore everything related to AI especially in this time of LLMs. As a wanna-be-polyglot, I'm interested in learning different languages.
