About me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, advised by Prof. Shenghua Liu and Yiwei Wang. I am a member of CAS Key Laboratory of AI Security. My research interests lie in the general area of trustworthy large language models.

I completed a research internship at MSRA GenAI group and subsequently interned with Qwen Team, where I worked on pretraining foundation models and served as a core contributor to the latest Qwen backbone model.

I am currently visiting the Language Technologies Institute (LTI), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) this year for a one-year research stay under the supervision of Prof. Chenyan Xiong.
