Hi!
I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), under the supervision of Prof. Jiawei Han.
I received my Bachelor's degree from the IEEE honored class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2022. In my undergraduate years, I was advised by Prof. Hai Zhao and collaborated with Zhuosheng Zhang at SJTU.
Research Interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing and machine learning.
Nowadays, I am generally exploring LLMs. It’s a little hard for me now to clearly position my research direction. Generally, I’m interested in the following:
Post-training of LLMs in a data-centric sense;
Enhancing complex reasoning ability of LLMs;
Building LLM systems that are efficient and user-aligned.

Miscellaneous
I love playing the piano. I have been practicing the piano ever since I was 5 (I still try to find time practicing in my Ph.D. journey). I am a crazy fan of Frédéric Chopin, and I am also fond of music pieces arranged by Animenz.
Some of my repertoires include Ballade No.1 Op.23, Polonaise in A-flat major, Op.53, My Dearest, Unravel, and Prelude g-moll, op.23, No.5
I have a cat Turing.
