I am a third-year PhD student at the National Center for Text Mining (NaCTeM) at the University of Manchester, advised by Prof.Sophia Ananiadou and Prof.Jun’ichi Tsujii. In June 2020, I received my Master degree from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to this, I received my BS degree from Nankai University in June 2017.

My current research interests include Natural Language Processing (especially BioNLP), Affective Computing, Mental Health Application and so on. 🎉
