PhD in Computer Science, North Carolina State University
My research focuses on building trustworthy and efficient AI systems with strong theoretical and empirical guarantees. I develop methods that stay provably reliable under adversarial conditions and distribution shift, remain efficient under real-world resource constraints, and extend naturally to real-world systems in healthcare, security, networking, transportation.
About me
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at North Carolina State University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xiaorui Liu. Prior to that, I received my M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and my B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from Beijing Normal University. I have gained diverse industry research experience through internships with Trustworthy Shopping at Amazon (2026), Automated Reasoning at AWS AI (2025), Amazon GuardDuty (2024), Baidu, Inc. (2023), and Tsinghua AIR (2022).
