I am now an associate professor at Department of CSE at HKUST and the associate director of HKUST-WeBank Joint Lab. I was a visiting academic scholar at Amazon A9 and Rufus Team (2022-2026), assistant professor at Lane Department of CSEE at WVU (2015-2016); a post-doc researcher at UIUC (2013-2015), a post-doc researcher at HKUST and visiting researcher at Huawei Noah's Ark Lab, Hong Kong (2012-2013); an associate researcher at Microsoft Research Asia (2010-2012); a staff researcher at IBM Research-China (2009-2010). I received my B.E. and PhD degree from Tsinghua University, China, in July 2003 and January 2009. I also worked as interns at Google in 2007-2008 and at IBM Research-China in 2006-2007.

Recent Research Topics (Full Publications (DBLP) and KnowComp Group Code):

My recent research goal is to develop (super) human-level intelligent agents to help with knowledge-intensive works. When meeting downstream applications, we also need to care about privacy, security, and fairness issues to build trustworthy real-world systems.

Research Topics 2016-2026:

My research goal was to use machines to understand human languages and eventually facilitate natural human language interaction and communication. Our approach was to extract useful knowledge from existing resources to construct knowledge graphs and use knowledge graphs to do reasoning and inference for understanding. When meeting downstream applications, we also need to care about privacy, security, and fairness issues to build trustworthy real-world systems.
