Bio

I’m a second-year Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University, proudly advised by Prof. Huan Sun. My recent research interests focus on enhancing the reasoning ability and faithfulness of large language models. Previously, I received my Master’s degree from Peking University in 2023 and Bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University (China) in 2020.

I’m currently looking for summer internship opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me if you’re interested in my research!
