About Me
Here is a virtual but warm greeting from Ziqiao, as you just came across his page! Well, many of my non-Chinese friends found it hard to pronounce my Chinese name (马子乔, pronounced as Tsz-Chaw in Mandarin or Tsz-Kiu in Standard Romanization), so...it's absolutely fine to just call me Martin alternatively.
I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan working with Professor Joyce Chai in the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) Lab. My current research focuses on Natural Language Processing (Grounded Language Understanding and Acquisition, Communication with Embodied Agents) and Machine Learning (Graph Neural Networks, Data-Efficient Learning)
Prior than that, I obtained my Dual Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at the University of Michigan and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Fun Facts
- I was born and raised up in Chengdu, the home of pandas.
- I am proud of Chengdu Foreign Languages School, my high school, and identify myself as a CFLSer. 成外人永远不会成外人。
- My dream school during high school was The University of Hong Kong (HKU), yet I declined the offer of BSc(QFin) in pursuit of my engineering dream.
- I love literature and drama. I am particularly interested in Shakespeare's plays, ancient Chinese drama and modern Asian literature. Here is one of my essays about Cross-dressed Heroines in Comedies.
- I enjoyed travelling and have been to 12 countries. Maybe I have been to your hometown?
- I am a super fan of Nightwish. My favourite album is Imaginaerum.
