Short Bio

I am currently a final-year dual degree undergraduate student at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and at ZJUI Institute at Zhejiang University, working under the supervision of Prof. Huajun Chen and Prof. Qiang Zhang.

During my undergraduate studies, I interned at ZJUKG in ZJU, supervised by Dr. Keyan Ding and interned at SSAIL in UIUC, supervised by Prof. Minjia Zhang. My research involves Large Language Models (LLMs) Evaluation and Fine-Tuning, Multimodal Retrieval-augmented Generation (MRAG), AI for Science (AI4Science), and its Applications.
