About me

I am a post-doctoral researcher at NetEase Youdao and Tsinghua University, working with Feng Zhou and Prof. Yang Liu. I obtained my PhD degree from LISN (ex-LIMSI), CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, where I was honored to be advised by Prof. François Yvon. Before that, I received my Engineer degree (bachelor + master) in Computer Science and my master degree in Data Science from INSA Rouen Normandie.

My research interests lie in the area of Natural Language Processing, especially Machine Translation.
