Research Experience
  • Starting a new position as a Research Intern at Apple!
Education
  • PhD student at National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. Bryan Hooi; Undergraduate with double majors in Computer Science and Statistics at Zhejiang University.
Background
  • Research interests: Trustworthy and Responsible AI, especially addressing trust-related challenges in foundation models. Current research topics include LLMs (hallucination mitigation, RAG, constraint decoding, etc.). Also studies Uncertainty Estimation, in the context of Calibration, Failure Prediction, and Out-of-Distribution Detection to enhance the reliability of AI-based decision-making systems. Passionate about advancing AI towards greater safety, equity, and sustainability.
Miscellany
  • Enthusiastic about embracing new challenges in this dynamic field.
