Biography

I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at SMU, supervised by Professor Jing Jiang.

My research focuses on Data-Centric AI and AI Safety.

I am fortunate to have research experience with Tianyu Pang, Chao Du, Qian Liu, and Min Lin at Sea AI Lab.

I obtained my B.E. in Software Engineering from Central South University in 2019.
