Hi! I’m a research assistant at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I’m advised by Prof. Rada Mihalcea. I’m also very fortunate to be working with Prof. Oana Ignat (Santa Clara University) and Prof. Huan Sun (Ohio State University). I couldn’t appreciate their invaluable insights and guidance more!​

Previously, I received my master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a specialization in Signal and Image Processing and the Machine Learning track.

My research interests lies broadly in Natural Language Processing and Multimodal AI, with an aim of creating Trustworthy and Responsible intelligence systems. Currently, my research projects are centered around the following aspects:

1. AI Transparency: Improving AI interpretability and controllability through mechanistic analysis and representation engineering; improving AI alignment, robustness, and reasoning ability.

2. AI for Social Good: Improving AI fairness, inclusiveness, and cross-cultural capabilities; enhancing AI for social good applications; reducing bias and harmful outputs.

3. AI Agent: Designing AI agents for task-solving and human-simulation; enhancing interactive capabilities among models, humans, and external environments.

Other than the directions mentioned, I’m always passionate about and open to exploring other topics that contribute to building more reliable AI systems. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss research and collaboration.
