Life is short. - 人生苦短。

Hi, I am an M.Phil. student in AI Thrust of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) of 3rd Cohort.

Currently, I am supervised by Prof. Yutao YUE and Prof. Zhijiang GUO. Before that, I obtained my Honors B.Sc. in Statistics from HONGSHEN Honors School of Chongqing University in 2024, it was an amazing experience.

I mainly focus on LLM Mechanism Interpretability and XAI. If you are interested in collaborating with me, please feel free to contact.
