About Me

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. I work with Prof. Lu Wang and Prof. H. V. Jagadish. My research focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP), with an emphasis on improving Language Models’ Factuality and Steerability through methodological and evaluation frameworks. During my PhD studies, I completed a 9-month internship with Apple’s Knowledge Platform team, collaborating with Yunyao Li on LLM content verification and revision. I hold an master degree in Computer Science and a bachelor degree in Computer Engineering.

I'm on the job market for Industry Research positions!
