About Me

Hi there! I am currently an assistant professor at the Linguistics Department at the University of British Columbia, an associate member of UBC CS Department, part of UBC NLP Group, and an instructor for the UBC MDS-CL Program. I am primarily interested in multilingual speech processing, natural language processing, and computational social sciences.

Before joining UBC, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at Blablablab, UMSI. I had obtained my Ph.D. in Linguistics and Scientific Computing from the Department of Linguistics and the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. During my Ph.D. years, I was fortunately advised by Pam Beddor and David Jurgens.
