About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at NLP2CT Lab, University of Macau. I am fortunately advised by Prof. Derek F. Wong and co-advised by Prof. Xuebo Liu. I am passionate about machine translation. Previously, I was an M.S. student at UM, affiliated with the same research group.
