🐨 Me

I obtained my Master Degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervise of Prof. Fan Cheng, major in computer science. Before that, I received my B.S. degree in IEEE honor class at SJTU, major in computer science. I used to be a research intern at SJTU interpretable ML lab, guided by Prof. Quanshi Zhang during my undergraduate study.

In 2021.10~2022, I worked as a research intern in Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) DKI group guided by Haoyu Dong. I worked on some interesting research topics related to semi-structured tabular data, such as table pre-training, table question answering.

In 2023, I worked as a research assistant in XLang Lab @HKUNLP advised by Prof. Tao Yu. Currently I am doing AI research at GAIR Lab advised by Pengfei Liu, and am affiliated with Shanghai AI Laboratory. I also have the fortune to work with Qian Liu at Sea AI Lab, who is an excellent collaborator!πŸ€—
