I was with Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

 

 
Research Interests    (cv)    
My primary research interest is information retrieval. I am also interested in many related areas. I worked with my advisor ChengXiang Zhai on various of topics, including language model information retrieval, text mining, bioinformatics. I also worked with Richard Sproat on machine transliteration.
