I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Virginia Tech advised by Prof. Lifu Huang. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in the School of CSE, South China University of Technology (SCUT). I was an Applied Scientist Intern at AWS AI in Summer 2023. [Google Scholar].

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the field of natural language processing and its intersections with other fields. Currently, I am interested in the following topics:
1) Evaluation for large language models and vision-language models;
2) Continual learning for NLP: acquiring new knowledge from evolving data while retaining previously learned knowledge;
3) Multi-modal learning and reasoning.
