I am an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Computer Science Department at University of Arizona.

I received my Ph.D. from University of North Texas in 2023. Before that, I earned a Master’s degree (2019) from University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor’s degree (2017) from Zhejiang University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and Computational Social Science (CSS). Specifically, I am passionate about utilizing data-driven methods to support online safety and facilitate communications between people.
