I architect the next generation of intelligence and data.
Currently landing AI at MiroMind, Singapore, I focus on the frontiers of LLMs and Multimodal AI. Previously, I spearheaded research at A*STAR (I²R) and NUS. I hold a Ph.D. from USC under C.C. Jay Kuo. With 40+ papers in ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, KDD, TASLP, TNNLS, etc., my work has been recognized with multiple Best Paper Awards. I served as the Publication Chair for EMNLP 2023.
I grew up in Jining, Shandong, and have since lived and worked in several cities across the globe, including Chengdu, Hong Kong, Ontario, and Los Angeles. I am currently based in Singapore, where I really enjoy staying.
