I am a graduate student[CV] in WUSTL, advised by Dr. Yixin Chen and Dr. Weixiong Zhang. My current research interest is AI planning. I have worked with, is now working with and in the future will focus on many different AI Planning approaches.
Other areas/topics that I want to know more about, and very likely to work on in the future:
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Web Service Composition
  • Information Retrieval
  • Probabilistic Inference
