About Me
I’m currently a 4th-year Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wei Wang. Previously I received my B.Sc. from Department of Math, UCLA, and M.Sc. from Department of Computer Science, UCLA. During that time, I’ve been an student researcher at UCLA-NLP group with Prof. Kai-Wei Chang.
My research interests focus on post-training for Large Language Models (LLMs). Specifically, I’m interested in aspects including alignment fine-tuning, self-training and hallucination problems. I also work on robustness and multi-modal learning.

I’m currently working on LLM post-training and focusing on self-training methods for both pure text LLMs and multi-modal LLMs. I’m generally interested in alignment and hallucination reduction for LLMs. I try to blog about papers I read.
