Guanhua CHEN

Assistant Professor in SUSTech

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 and journal like ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, ECAI, and TASLP. My research interests are natural language processing (NLP) and applied machine learning, such as large language model, and controllable text generation, etc.


Positions available: I am looking for self-motivated PostDoc/PhD/Master/visiting 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. Currently, we have 16 RTX 4090 GPUs (24GB), 16 NVIDIA L40 GPUs (48GB), and 4 A100 GPUs (40GB) available for students.
