About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Oregon State Unversity started from Fall 2021. My advisor is Prof. Liang Huang. Previously, I obtained my M.S. in Computer Science from Nanjing University in 2020 and got my B.Eng. in Civil Engineering from Southeast University in 2017. I worked as a data scientist at ByteDance on computational advertising for TikTok from July 2020 to August 2021.
