"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."
 - Rene Descartes

I am a first year Ph.D. student in Mathmetics and Computer Science Department of Emory University, currently working with Prof. Eugene Agichtein. My research interests primarily lie in information retrieval, user behavior modeling and machine learning. As a short summary, my current research involves:
  • Web search query intent prediction through implicit user feedback including mouse move trajectories and clickthrough data.
  • User behavior modeling of online information-seeking for digital library search evaluation by query log analysis.
Before coming to Emory, I obtained my B.S. degree in Software Engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou.
