Opening

Hi! I am currently looking for self-motivated PhD and MPhil students (for 2026), as well as research assistants (time can be flexible).

Research Directions: I’m generally interested at topics related to NLP and LLM. My current focus is mainly on long-context LM, LLM-based agent and understanding LMs (more about my research). That said, I’m also open to related topics within the NLP/ML/AI space.

I’m Looking For: I think the most essential quality for research is self-motivation – it’s what keeps research moving forward. I value both: Rigor, to ensure the work is solid and meaningful, and Creativity, to think beyond the obvious. A background in NLP, machine learning, or related fields is preferred. Strong coding skills are a plus. For PhD/MPhil applicants, please also ensure you meet CityU’s entrance requirements.

How to Apply: If you’re interested, please send me an email with:
– Subject line: “Application for {Position} at CityUHK - {Your Full Name}”
– Attachments: CV, a brief research statement, and any other related materials which you think will be helpful
(Due to time constraints, I may not be able to respond to all emails. Apologies for this and thanks for your understanding. Well-formatted emails are much appreciated and are very likely to receive a reply.)
