I am a Ph.D. student in computer science (CS) at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), fortunately advised by Professor Hanghang Tong. Prior to this, I received an M.S. degree in CS at UIUC and a B.E. degree in operations research and a minor in statistics at Tsinghua University. My research interests lie broadly in machine learning (ML), with a current emphasis on theoretical foundations and methodological advances of language models.
