Hi, I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Joydeep Ghosh and Ying Ding, while working closely with Yifan Peng. My research interests revolve around Natural Language Processing, Biomedical applications of LLMs. Before my Ph.D., I obtained my M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin in 2021.
