I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I lead the FLAIR Lab. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Heng Ji. I received my Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Los Angeles, where I worked with Kai-Wei Chang and Nanyun Peng. My research focuses on natural language processing, with a focus on developing trustworthy and generalizable language AI systems. These systems aim to understand human concepts, speak human languages, and perform logical reasoning. Additionally, they are designed to be robust, reliable, and adaptable to new domains, languages, and modalities. Currently, my research includes several key directions: (1) Robustness of large langauge models (LLMs), (2) Multimodal concept learning and alignment, (3) Multilingual text understanding, and (4) Data-driven knowledge extraction.

I am looking for self-motivated students to join my group in Fall 2026. If you are interested in large language models, multimodal learning, or multilingual NLP, please find more information here.
