About Me

I joined the Computer Science (CS) department at the University of Virginia (UVA) in 2024 as an assistant professor (tenure-track). Previously, I earned my Ph.D. from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) where I worked with Jiawei Han and spent time as a visiting researcher at the Princeton NLP Group, working with Danqi Chen.
