Bio
Since August 2020, I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon.com (Palo Alto site).
I graduated with a master by research degree in Symbolic Systems at
Stanford University in June 2020. My research focuses on Natural Language
Processing, with an emphasis on Computational Social Science and Computational Pragmatics. I am a member of
the Stanford NLP Group, advised by Prof. Chris Potts.
Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
and Linguistics from the University
of Michigan, where I worked with Prof. David Jurgens
and Prof. Kevyn Collins-Thompson. I received a second
Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Shanghai Jiao
Tong University via the dual degree program.
