About Me
I am currently a Postdoc at WING @ NUS, supervised by Prof. Min-Yen Kan and Prof. Zhiyong Huang. I obtained my PhD at Chongqing University, my MSc at the University of Edinburgh, and my BSc at Northumbria University. Before pursuing my PhD, I worked for 6 years at a start-up company. My lab encountered challenges with a chatbot project (before the advent of GPT) around 2019, which prompted me to return to university for further training. I found a PhD program in my hometown.
When I'm not working, I'm often palying basketball. I co-coached the college basketball team in my PhD time.
