I am a second-year PhD student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), advised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li. Previously, I was a visiting student at SIAT, Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2018 to 2019, advised by Prof. Min Yang. I received my M.Eng. degree and B.Eng. degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology (SCUT) in 2020 and 2017, respectively.
I have broad interests in natural language processing (NLP), particularly in dialogue systems and natural language generation. I have the following long-term research goals:
Recently, I've become interested in goal-directed dialogue systems, which aim to proactively direct a dialogue toward a pre-determined target.

I enjoy Chinese calligraphy and most outdoor sports (especially basketball, table tennis, and badminton). I also spend my leisure time on variety shows, literature books, and movies.
I dream of traveling around China and many places around the world someday.
