Welcome to my homepage!

I am now a PhD student in HCII@CMU. My advisors are Bob Kraut and Niki Kittur. I got my bachelor degree in Dept. of CS&T at the Tsinghua University in 2009.

My research combines social science theory, quantitative methods, and computational techniques (machine learning and statistics) to understand the principles underlying the large online social systems such as Wikipedia and Facebook.
