About Me

I am currently a second-year PhD candidate at Shanghai Jiao Tong Univeristy, supervised by Dr. Xi Lin. I received my bachelor’s degree of information security from School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2022, supervised by Dr. Kui Meng. My research interest includes trustworthy AI, retrieval augmented generation, large language models and graph machine learning. If you are interested in my research or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
