I am a Ph.D. student in Information Technology at George Mason University, advised by Dr. Zhuangdi Zhu. My research focuses on LLM alignment, enhancing the safety and accountability of large language models (LLMs) via reinforcement learning-based alignment and unlearning, and systematic design evaluation of agentic AI systems.
Before joining George Mason University, I earned my M.S. in Data Science from the University of California, Irvine, and dual bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Finance from Shenzhen University.
