Hello, Welcome! 👋
I am currently a senior undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Jiaxuan You. I also work closely with Prof. Wei Xu and Prof. Alan Ritter.
My research focuses on the intersection of natural language processing, computational social science, and cultural analytics. I am particularly interested in evaluating how large language models interpret complex social, cultural, and symbolic information, and building more advanced, culturally aware AI systems that better align with human values and social needs.
Previously, I was fortunate to work with Prof. David Jurgens, Prof. Rongqian Ma, and Prof. Ted Underwood, experiences that helped shape my current research interests.
I am looking for Ph.D. positions in 26 Fall. You can find my CV here. (last modified: 2025.11)
