Hi, I'm currently an Algorithm Engineer at Search Rank Team (Taobao) in Alibaba (Hangzhou, China). Previously, I recieved the M.S. degree from Sun Yat-sen University, where I was fortunately advised by Prof. Xiaodan Liang. I used to work closely with Prof. Zhiting Hu and Dr. Pan Zhou.

I have a broad interest in NLP and machine learning problems, especially utilizing deep learning for various pratical NLP and graph-related tasks. Currently, my major research interest focuses on recommendation system and graph contrastive learning.
