đź“Ť Edmonton, Canada

I am a second-year PhD student at University of Alberta, and supervised by Prof. Lili Mou. Before this, I received my bachelor and master’s degrees at University of Alberta.

My research interests include NLP and ML. Specifically, I am interested in the explainablility of the representations that can be understood by either machine learning models or human. I am also interested in the communication and interaction between different large language models.

less about me

I am an outdoor enthusiast. I like snowboarding and skiing in winter, and mountain biking and hiking in summer.

When I am staying at home. I enjoy sci-fi movie and hip-hop music.
