PhD student @ UNC Chapel Hill

🚨 I’m now on the 2024-2025 job market! I’m interested in full-time research positions in both academia and industry.

I am a PhD student at UNC Chapel Hill (MURGe-Lab, UNC NLP group), advised by Prof. Mohit Bansal. I am supported by Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship.

While at UNC, I have spent my summer time at Bloomberg (in 2024), Google Research (in 2023), Microsoft Research (in 2022) and Adobe Research (in 2021). Prior to UNC, I did machine learning research at AI2, Naver, and SNU.
