About Me
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the UCI-NLP at the University of California, Irvine, where I am fortunate to be advised by Sameer Singh. My current research interests are centered around natural language reasoning, understanding and evaluating NLP systems.
Previously, I got my M.S. in Computer Science from ETH Zurich, advised by Mrinmaya Sachan. Before that I obtained a B.S. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Peking University, where I worked with Yizhou Wang. I also spent wonderful a half year worked as a research intern at EPFL working with Antoine Bosselut prior to joining UCI.
