About Me

With a solid background in recommender systems, natural language processing, cognitive healthcare, speech technologies, and large language models, I have built a career that bridges research and engineering excellence. I have authored over 50 academic papers, actively contributed as a reviewer for numerous conferences, and currently serve as an Area Chair for ACL.

As a former IBM Master Inventor and Co-Chair of the IBM Patent Review Board, I have been granted more than 100 international patents, showcasing my commitment to innovation and intellectual property development. During my 20 years at IBM, I spearheaded various innovation projects and successfully translated research breakthroughs into real-world business applications.

Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Nankai University, focusing on artificial intelligence, with specific interests in speech technologies and large language models. My research aims to push the boundaries of these transformative technologies and contribute to their practical applications.
