About Me
I am Ph.D. candicate in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, advised by Professor Dawei Zhou. I received my M.S. in Statistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024, where I was luckily advised by Professor Yun Li, and my B.S. in Statistics and B.A. in English Literature and Linguistics from Zhejiang University in 2022.
My research focuses on LLM Reasoning and Inference, with an emphasis on developing statistically grounded, computationally efficient frameworks to address challenges in open-world learning. I am particularly interested in advancing the theoretical and empirical understanding of LLMs to improve their reliability and generalization in real-world applications.
What I'm Focusing
