About Me
I am a PhD student at the University of Alberta, supervised by Prof. Lili Mou. I received both my BSc and MSc in Computing Science from the University of Alberta.
My research lies at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, with a focus on:
- Interpretable representations that bridge machine learning models and human understanding
- Embedding learning for large language models
- Multi-agent communication and interaction among large language models

Beyond Research
I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves snowboarding and skiing in winter, and mountain biking and hiking in summer. When staying indoors, I enjoy sci-fi movies and hip-hop music. I also have a British Shorthair cat named UA (short for University of Alberta).
