About

Hi! I am an incoming faculty-track researcher at School of Statistics, East China Normal University.

I have a broad interest in machine learning with a particular interest in trustworthy machine learning topics, such as privacy and stability. I have also begun to develop an interest in LLM post-training. I am always open to collaboration and chat if you are interested!
