Short Bio

I am a senior research scientist in Google Research working on natural language processing and data mining. My research aims to assist humans to better interact with AI systems for knowledge acquisition, decision making, and creative thinking.

I completed my Ph.D. at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Jiawei Han. Prior to UIUC, I received my bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University IEEE Honored Class, under the supervision of Prof. Xinbing Wang.
