Short Bio

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Utrecht University, advised by Dr. Dong Nguyen.
My current research interests lie within Natural Language Processing (esp. interpretability of NLP models). Besides, I am broadly interested in Machine Learning (esp. Deep Learning) and Computational Social Science.

Before joining UU, I received both my bachelor’s (Psychology, 2017) and my master’s (Computer Science, 2020, advised by Dr. Yuanbin Wu) degrees from East China Normal University.
