Biography

Here is Guanhua Chen (陈冠华). I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science in Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). I received Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Jia Pan and Prof. Wenping Wang. I obtained the Bachelor and Master degree from Tsinghua University in 2012 and 2014, respectively. I was a research intern in Microsoft Research Asia and Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab. Currently, I am the reviewer for top AI conferences like ACL, EMNLP, and NAACL. My research interests are natural language processing (NLP) and applied machine learning, such as pretrained model, multimodal AI, clinical NLP, etc.

Positions available: I am looking for self-motivated PostDoc/PhD/Master students to join our lab. If you are interested, please send me an email with your CV and transcripts. For your reference, here are the latest information of the PhD and Master application process of this year.
