I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate at the spoken language system group of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Prior to that, I did my PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Mark Hasegawa-Johnson. I am the recipient of Robert T. Chien Memorial Award for Electrical Engineering (2023) and Rambus Computer Engineering Fellowship (2020) for my research.

PhD opening for Fall 2027: I am considering applications for one additional PhD student, subject to research fit, funding availability, and the departmental admission process.

Research focus: I am primarily seeking candidates with strong experience or demonstrated interest in speech and audio processing, speech/audio foundation models, multimodal language modeling, or multimodal healthcare AI.

How to apply: Please email me your CV, transcript, intended starting date, and a brief description of your previous research contributions and the research questions you would like to pursue.

Because my supervision capacity is limited, I may only be able to respond to candidates whose backgrounds closely match my current projects.
