I am a Ph.D. student (from 2022) in Computer Science at Michigan State University, advised by Dr. Hui Liu and Dr. Jiliang Tang. My research interests lie in Large Language Models (LLMs), Computational Social Science, and AI for Education, with a focus on developing reasoning methods and evaluating LLMs in real-world social and educational contexts.

Before starting my Ph.D., I earned an M.S. in Applied Statistics (Data Science) and a B.A. in Sociology from Fudan University, China.

I have published several first-author papers and actively serve as a reviewer for leading AI/ML conferences and journals.
