Hello, my name is Dongji Feng, I am a Computer Science tenure-track assistant professor at Gustavus Adolphus College. I finished my Ph.D. at BDI lab under the supervision of Dr.Santu. My research interests include Natural Language Generation, Large Language Models, Information Retrieval, and corresponding evaluation metrics. I am also interested in Game Design and STEM education. Before I joined BDI lab, I worked with Dr.Thomas on research exploring the development of computational algorithmic thinking, during which I served as Entrepreneur lead for an education start-up funded by the NSF I-Corp. During my Ph.D., I also served as Teaching Assistant for undergraduate/graduate-level Computer Science courses, such as [Graduate Level: Information Retrieval, Machine Learning, Computer Game Design & Development] and [undergraduate level: Intro to Algorithm, Cloud Computing]. I am a member of FinAI community Currently, I am establishing the first AI Lab at Gustavus (still deciding on the name) and actively mentoring four undergraduate students in research. Additionally, I serve as the academic advisor for nine undergraduate students. Outside of work, I enjoy sports, music, and reading. I also serve as the advisor for the Frisbee Club and play soccer with the Gustavus Soccer Club!
