Bio
I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at University of Rochester (UR), where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Chenliang Xu. Prior to that, I received my M.S.E degree in Financial Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). and my B.Sc. degree in physics at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
I am broadly interested in: - Trustworthy AI: hallucination, bias, privacy, and explainability; - Forward Learning: likelihood ratio method, zeroth-order optimization; - MLLM: Audio-visual LLM, Video LLM;
I am actively looking for collaboration on research. If you share similar interests, please feel free to contact me!

Fun facts:
- I ventured through three distinct majors during my undergrad, master's, and doctoral journeys, which makes me deeply thankful for finally finding my true passion before bidding farewell to campus life.
- I love to design and host activities for friends to get together. See invitation examples [1][2] [3].
- I am blessed with friends and family who offer me their unwavering support. Love you guys.

Pipe dreams:
- May all in this world be free from illness' blight, without lamenting the dusty shelves where medicines recline.
- To live in latant space of foundation models and feel the "physical" properties there.
- "Because it's there." ——George Mallory
