About Me

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, advised by Dr. Mohammad Mohammadi Amiri. My research interest lies broadly in the field of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. I aim to make AI and LLMs beneficial for everyone. I’m exploring how to enhance language models’ capabilities by representation steering, self-improvement and training data selection.

Previously, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree from Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology in 2021 and a Master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 2023 advised by Dr. Jr-Shin Li.
