About me
I am a final-year Machine Learning Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Han Zhao and Prof. Bo Li. Previously, I obtained my B.S. in 2019 from UIUC with double majors in (1) Physics, (2) Statistics & Computer Science.
My research interests include multi-task learning, out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, domain adaptation and meta-learning.
Lately, I have been working with foundation models (e.g., large language models and vision-language models), improving their reliability and efficiency. Stay tuned for this series of works! (Will release three papers in Oct 2023)
Besides, I have adapted transformers to solve quantum computing problems in Amazon (Paper).
I will graduate in summer 2024 and I am looking for full-time AI research scientist jobs in the industry!
