About Me

I'm a Distinguished Assistant Professor of Engineering Inclusive Excellence at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University, where I serve as the Co-Lead of Foundational AI in the ICICLE AI Institute and Lead of Machine Learning Foundations in the Imageomics Institute. I also spend some fun time at Microsoft Semantic Machines, where I help develop a suite of new technologies for task-oriented dialogue systems that have been deployed in Microsoft Outlook. I got my PhD from University of California, Santa Barbara and my bachelor degree from Tsinghua University.
I have broad interests in understanding human languages, formal knowledge and languages, and their interplay, with the overarching goal of enabling humans and machines to communicate and collaborate via natural language. More specifically, I'm interested in conversational AI (dialogue systems, semantic parsing, question answering, and grounded language understanding) and knowledge representation (knowledge base construction, reasoning, and querying). I'm also fascinated by a series of general AI problems such as interpretability, robustness and out-of-distribution generalization, multimodality, and sample-efficient learning. Finally, I believe in translational research and seek to leverage AI capabilities to empower a variety of domains such as biomedicine and biology.
I'm always looking for highly motivated students. Drop me an email with CV and transcripts if you are interested in natural language processing, machine learning, or AI in general (unfortunately due to the high volumn I may not be able to reply to every email)
