About me

I am now working as Assistant Researcher of the Department of Computer Science and Technology, and the Institute for Internet Judiciary in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. I am also a visiting researcher of Göttingen University of Germany. I hold a Ph.D. in Law and have postdoctoral research experience in Computer Science and law. My primary research interests revolve around Artificial Intelligence & Law, including topics such as legal information retrieval and the application of artificial intelligence in judicial systems.

Recent Professional Activities

  • I serve as Program Committee Chair for the Challenge of AI in Law (CAIL)
  • I served as PC for SIGIR2024 Full/Short/Resource papers
