About Me

I am a first-year graduate student at the Department of Computer Science, New Jersey Institue of Technology(NJIT). Currently, I am working closely with Prof. Mengnan Du on model interpretablity. My research interests lie in Explainable AI(XAI), with an emphasis on large language models(LLMs). Before that I obtained my master degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST) and my bachelor degree from Wuhan University of Technology(WUT).

Research Interests

XAI, LLM Alignment
