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). 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, Daniel Khashabi and Hanjie Chen. 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.
