About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Emory University, currently working with Professor Eugene Agichtein. I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in 2006 and Master's degree in Computer Science in 2009 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.

Research

My research interests include information retrieval, data mining, and semantic web. Currently, I am working on improving users' information seeking with Web Search and Community-based Question Answering, in particular by helping users generate and search high-quality CQA content.
