About
Hello, welcome to visit my site! 👋
I am a doctoral researcher (Ph.D. candidate) funded by the European Research Council, affiliated with the project: Individualized Interaction in Discourse, led by Prof. Dr. Vera Demberg at Saarland University. Concurrently, I am a visiting scholar at the University of Edinburgh, working under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Mirella Lapata. To contribute to the NLP community, I joined the ACL Rolling Review Team as a technical support member, primarily responsible for ARR website updates.
Prior to joining Saarland University, I earned my Master of Computer Science degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Khalil Sima'an at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam.

More about me:
- I was born in the southernmost city in China: Sanya.
- Originating from a peasant family, my parents ventured to Sanya City as migrant workers. Throughout my upbringing, they have showered me with immeasurable love, for which I will forever remain deeply grateful.
- Over time, I came to understand the complexities of life and the fact that not everything is black and white. This realization led me to make peace with myself and cultivate a more open-minded perspective.
Life pursuit:
I have long aspired to make a meaningful contribution to society, dreaming of a research or work that could positively impact many people around the world.
