This is a homepage showing my professoal profile as well as my interest, photograpy.
As a computational linguist, I conduct research in the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and language learning. Most of my research concerns the interdisciplinary study of language learning, linguistics, and computer science. Check out my LinkedIn if this does sound interesting to you.
As a photo addict, I like to observe things which people often overlook in their lives. Even some minor stuffs could turn to be fantastic if we can pay more attention to them. Add me as a contact on Flickr if you love taking pictures as much as I do!
