About

Hi! I am a second-year Master student at NLPGM Lab @ Wuhan University, under the supervision of Prof. Tieyun Qian. I obtained my B.Eng. from Wuhan University in 2023.

My current research focuses on exploring methods to (theoretically) understand and (empirically) improve the generalization of AI Alignment.

I am committed to developing trustworthy AI that can communicate effectively with humans.
