Welcome to my homepage! I graduated from LTI and moved to California. I was co-advised by Prof. Jamie Callan and Prof. Jaime Carbonell. I was a member of the Distributed IR Group.

Before coming to Pittsburgh, I got my B.S. and M.S. from Tsinghua University in Beijing. I was a member of NGN Lab. My advisor was Prof. Xing Li.

Research

My current research interests focus on information retrieval. Closely related fields include machine learning, data mining and natural language processing. I enjoy working on ideas that will make it easier for people to find useful information.
