I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Utah, co-advised by Prof. Ellen Riloff and Prof. Vivek Srikumar. My research mainly focuses on Natural Language Processing. In particular, I work on learning commonsense/world knowledge for affective text analysis. I also have broad interests in large language models, information extraction, pragmatic analysis and crisis informatics.
Before coming to University of Utah, I earned my Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I worked with Prof. Dragomir Radev and Prof. Rada Mihalcea. I obtained my Bachelor degrees in Maths and Physics at the University of Rochester.
