I am a Ph.D. research fellow affiliated to the Cluster of Excellence. My reasearch topic is statistical modeling of lexical ambiguity. I am supervised by Dr. Caroline Sporleder and Prof. Manfred Pinkal.

I also work with Dr. Ivan Titov from whom I get valuable suggestion and comments on statistics. Before moving to Germany, I worked with Prof.Tianfang Yao.
