I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Xiaojing Liao. I obtained my B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2024.

My current research interests lie in trustworthy AI, with a goal of improving the robustness and safety of large language models and AI agents. Previously, I worked on software engineering and formal methods, including AI for coding tasks and verification-related problems.
