I'm looking for PhD positions for 23Fall

I am a final-year Master (MPhil) student in Computer Science at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). My advisor is Prof. Xiaojuan Ma.

I am interested in social computing and artificial intelligence (especially natural language processing). My goal is to understand human behavior in online communities, and create intelligent technologies to augment human capabilities. While my current projects focus on extracting insights from large behavior data using mixed methods informed by social science theories, I also plan to build AI systems to put the insights into practice.
