About Me
I'm a passionate educator and researcher at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), where I foster curiosity and innovation in technology education. My journey in academia has taken me from the Harbin Institute of Technology, where I earned my Ph.D., through roles at Donghua University and the National University of Singapore, before finding my position at SUTD.
I believe that curiosity is the driving force behind meaningful education and research. In my teaching and research, I encourage students to explore, question, and discover. This approach not only enhances learning but also leads to innovative solutions in technology and design.
My passion lies in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, particularly in Natural Language Processing and AI applications. I'm committed to nurturing the next generation of curious minds who will shape the future of technology.
