I having been working closely with Prof. Chenhao Tan (Department of Computer Science, UChicago) and lab members from Chicago Human+AI lab on human-centered NLP. Previously, I had the privilege of leading an expert evaluation dataset (involve annotation, curation and documentation) for medical reports, under supervision of Prof. Samuel G. Armato (Department of Radiology, UChicago). I was also honored to once work in Prof. Dacheng Xiu's (Booth School of Business, UChicago) group on financial NLP. Before joining UChicago, I studied Mathematics and Economics at Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, China.
I am actively seeking CS/HCI PhD positions for Fall 2026. Feel free to reach out if you know of any suitable opportunities!
Research Focus
- Evaluating and improving LLM/VLLM behavior to ensure alignment, particularly in high-stakes domains such as healthcare.
- Developing human-AI collaborative systems, especially for tasks requiring domain expertise.
I am passionate about human-centered AI development, including identifying risks and biases in state-of-the-art AI systems, exploring the bi-directional impact between humans and AI, and building reliable AI tools that safely serve target users and enhance human performance.
