I am a graduate student studying Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hanghang Tong. My current research focuses on the robustness of large language models.
Previously, I received my B.S. degree in Mathematics with Highest Distinction and B.S. degree in Computer Science with High Honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
