I am a second-year CS PhD student since Fall 2024. I am lucky to be advised by Dr. Jian Kang at the University of Rochester (UR).

My research interest lies in trustworthy AI and AI for social good. Presently I am exploring uncertainty in LLM.

Before my PhD journey at UR, I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics at Xiamen University, where I was lucky to be advised by Dr. Wei Zhong. I was a member of XMU MIREL Lab led by Dr. Yunfeng Wu. I was also a remote research assistant for Dr. Qingliang Fan at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
