Bio

I am now a Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Waterloo, working with Prof. Jimmy Lin. Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant Professor (Assistant Researcher) at Nanjing University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University, working with Prof. Alan Ritter (now in Georgia Tech). I obtained my MS degree from Carnegie Mellon University and my BS degree from Nanjing University.

I conduct research in computational linguistics. I am interested in topics related to social media analysis and computational social science. Recently I also work on applications applied to market research.
