About me: I am currently a postdoc researcher at Swiss Data Science Center, ETH and an incoming lecturer (assistant professor) at University of Bristol. I also serve as a guest researcher at Coastal NLP group at University of Copenhagen. Previously, I obtained my PhD degree at CUHK text mining group, supervised by Prof.Lam Wai in 2023.
Research: My research lies broadly in Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a focus on LLMs, multimodal AI, and agentic AI. I am interested in developing models that integrate language, vision, and other modalities, and AI agents that interact with users, tools, and dynamic environments.
I also explore real-world and interdisciplinary applications of foundation models, including multimodal conversational systems, social media analysis, information retrieval, and computational social science. More broadly, I am interested in building AI systems that are interpretable, adaptable, reliable, and human-aligned, and in connections between cognitive science and AI.
