✨ I’m currently a CS PhD student at UW-Madison. Before that, I got my bachelor from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in Computer Science and Technology (IEEE Honor Class).

♍️ My research interest generally lies in large language models (LLMs). Currently, I’m very interested in exploring theoretical understanding of LLMs.

📚 Prior to UW-Madison, I conducted research on long-context LLMs under the guidance of Prof. Pengfei Liu. Before that, I worked closely with Prof. Junxian He.
