About Me

I am a first-year CS PhD student at Rice University, advised by Prof. Hanjie Chen. My research interests mainly lie in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and aim to build more capable, reliable, and trustworthy AI systems to better assist human in vatious real-world applications. Currently I am interested in safety alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Diffusion Language Models. I obtained my Master degree at Johns Hopkins University, where I was honored to work with Mark Dredze and Daniel Khashabi. I obtained my Bachelor degree as an Outstanding Graduate at Zhejiang University, where I was also a student of the Turing Class, Chu Kochen Honors College.
