About Me
I am actively seeking internship for 2025 Summer. Feel free to reach out if you're interested!
I am a second-year PhD student in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at The Penn State University (PSU). I am co-advised by Prof. Suhang Wang and Prof. Xiang Zhang. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Technology at Chongqing University under the supervision of Prof. Lei Feng and Prof. Jiaxing Shang. My recent research interests lie in building effective and trustworthy AI foundation models (such as large language models and large vision-language models).
