I am a 1st-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, working with Prof. Tom Goldstein. I am interested in various topics within machine learning, with a particular emphasis on large language models, focusing on enhancing their efficiency, scalability, and applicability to complex real-world tasks.

Prior to joining UMD, I graduated with honors from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2023, earning a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Information Engineering. I also had the privilege of working with Dr. Yatao Bian at Tencent AI Lab and Prof. Quanming Yao at Tsinghua University, where I focused on multi-modal large language models and graph neural networks.
