I am currently an Associate Professor in the School of Cyber Science and Engineering at Wuhan University since 2022.12. I received my Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2020, where I was advised by Prof. Weidong Liu. Before joining Wuhan University, I was an Algorithm Engineer at Baidu Inc. from 2020 to 2022. My main research interests include efficient large language models, web search, recommendation systems, and data denoising. I have received the COLING 2025 Best Social Impact Paper, the KDD Cup 2019 Runner-Up Award, and have been selected as a Xiaomi Young Scholar.
