About
I am a principal researcher at Microsoft Research AI for Science. I obtained my Bachelor’s and Ph.D degrees from University of Science and Technology of China in 2013 and 2018, supervised by Dr. Tie-Yan Liu (opens in new tab) and Prof. Nenghai Yu (opens in new tab). I enjoy conducting hands-on research as I believe that first-hand experience provides the most valuable and meaningful impressions.
