Academic Achievements
  • Published several papers on language models, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics, including 'StimMAS: A Multi-Agent Framework for Automated Linguistic Stimulus Construction in Psychological Research', 'Large Language Models for Automated Literature Review: An Evaluation of Reference Generation, Abstract Writing, and Review Composition', and more.
Research Experience
  • Currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Language Processing Lab at the Brain and Mind Institute, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Has been involved in multiple psychological experiments and computational linguistics projects.
Background
  • Research Assistant Professor focusing on human language production and large language models (LLMs). Uses behavioral, EEG, and fMRI data, along with computational methods, to explore the mechanisms of the human language system. Also works on mechanistic interpretability, aiming to reverse-engineer the internal workings of LLMs to understand how specific computations (e.g., syntax, prediction) are implemented. Trained and licensed in TMS for research purposes in Hong Kong and completed an internship as a language therapist/researcher specializing in aphasia at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.
Miscellany
  • Seeking an AP position in 2026.
