I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Washington, Seattle, advised by Prof. Ranjay Krishna and Prof. Alex Ratner. Before that, I was an undergraduate student in Computer Science of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I was fortunated to be advised by Prof. Jiawei Han. During the past, I spent time at Microsoft Research and ByteDance AI Lab.

Research Interests: My current research interests are interactive and data-centric AI/ML with an emphasis on faithful evaluation and effort-light approaches with applications in chemistry, biology, physics, etc.. My ultimate goal is to build effective, efficient, and explainable data-centric ML systems. My past explorations lay in the intersection of machine learning, data mining, and natural language processing.
