About me

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Informatics, University College Dublin. My Supervisor is Dr. Tony Veale. Before that, I received my B.Eng. and B.Sc. degrees from Software School, Fudan University and Department of Computer Science and Informatics, University College Dublin in 2014. I was supervised by Dr. Xiaoqing Zheng.

My research interest generally locates in how people communicate with language. Currently I am studying metaphor. I am also interested in the related areas, including machine learning, cognitive science and psycholinguistics.
