I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Prof. Jiawei Han's Data Mining Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to UIUC, I received my bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Prof. Xinbing Wang, and I was a member of IEEE Honored Class.

My research focuses on constructing multi-faceted taxonomy from massive unstructured text corpora and enhancing text understanding with constructed taxonomies. My works lay in the intersection of data mining, natural language processing, and information retrieval.
