Hi! I am a second-year PhD student in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Aditi Raghunathan. Before starting my PhD, I completed my MS degree also at CMU. Prior to CMU, I was an undergrad in linguistics at Tsinghua University.   I was born and raised in Nanjing, China.

My current research interests are in understanding and fixing the limitations of next-token prediction. I also spend time understanding the safety of increasingly capable/complex AI systems.
