About me

I’m a PhD student in CWRU where I am fortunately advised by Prof. Xiaotian Han. Prior to that, I received my M.S. from UCR, and my B.S. from Central South University.

I am open to collaboration opportunities, including visiting Ph.D. positions, research internships, and academic exchange programs.

Research Interests

• My research focuses on large language models (LLMs), with a particular emphasis on accelerating inference and enhancing their mathematical reasoning capabilities.
