  • SHORT BIO

    Welcome! I am a first year Master student of Language Technologies Institute of School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Currently I am working with Prof. Joy Y. Zhang on early detection of cyber threats using language techniques. In the last semester, I worked with Prof. Roni Rosenfeld on modeling the evolution of viral epidemics such as influenza. My research interest lies in Machine Learning, Digital Signal Processing and Natural Language Processing.

    I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Nanjing University of Technology, China, major in Information and Computing Science. I was lucky enough to be able to work with Prof. Jianfeng Shao on the problem of Gene Prediction during my undergrad study. Most of my past work focused on the identification of gene coding regions on DNA sequences.
    PERSONAL

    I was originally born in Suzhou, China, which I think is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. You can also find me on and .

    In order to survive in the ocean of papers and codes, I play basketball and some guitar during spare time. I wish I could gracefully go through all the formidables just like a great pass by Steve Nash.

    Despite my scientific persuits, I love rock music (). If you are the same with me, do check the amazing Chinese band called OMNIPOTENT YOUTH SOCIETY. Another interesting thing about them is that they come from a Chinese city named , whose literal translation is Rock Home Town. I am also a fan of the British band OASIS.

    My favourite novel is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
