Charlottesville, VA 22903
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at University of Virginia (UVA), advised by Prof. Aidong Zhang. Before joining UVA, I earned my Masterโs degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and my Bachelorโs degree from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU).
My research in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning focuses on developing robust AI systems capable of generalizing to new and diverse environments. My research involves:
- Bias detection and mitigation
- AI alignment
- Meta-learning
- Multimodal learning
In addition to solving fundamental machine learning problems, I am also passionate about application-driven machine learning, leveraging techniques such as self-supervised learning and generative modeling to accelerate knowledge discovery in genomics.
๐ฃ I am actively seeking internship, full-time, or postdoctoral positions and would be happy to discuss any potential opportunities.
