I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in CS at Emory University, currently advised by Prof. Wei Jin and previously advised by Prof. Fei Liu. Earlier, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Jinli Suo in Computational Photography at Tsinghua University. My research interests are in the areas of NLP, especially tasks related to LLM reasoning and decision making.
