About me

I’m a first-year PhD student in Case Western Reserve University where I am fortunately advised by Prof. Xiaotian Han. Prior to that, I received my M.S. from University of California, Riverside, 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.
