I obtained my Ph.D. in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at The Pennsylvania State University in Dec. 2019. I joined Baidu Research, USA after graduation focusing on NLP projects (e.g., word embedding and machine translation). I was a research assistant in the Data Analytics Lab advised by Dr. Xiang Zhang. I did internships in Baidu Big Data Lab (summer 2018, mentor: Dr. Jun Huan) and NEC Labs, America (summer 2019, mentor: Dr. Jianwu Xu). During my Ph.D. study, I was working on graph mining projects (e.g., network embedding) using geometric deep learning techniques and reinforcement learning techniques. Two of my papers were nominated for the Best Paper of ICDM 2017 and 2018, respectively.
