I am a final-year PhD student in the EECS department at UC Berkeley advised by Michael I. Jordan and Yi Ma. I obtained my B.S. from the Department of Mathematics at Nanjing University, and my M.S. from the Department of Computer Science, University of Virginia.
My research interests are broadly in theoretical foundations and applications of trustworthy machine learning. My current focus is onWhite-Box Transformers via Sparse Rate Reduction.
