About me

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at NTU-NLP, Nanyang Technological University, and Language Technology Lab, Alibaba DAMO Academy. I am fortunate to have Assoc. Prof. Shafiq Joty and Dr. Bing Lidong as my supervisors.

Before starting my Ph.D. journey, I graduated from Computer Science and Design (CSD) at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree in Artificial Intelligence. After graduation, I spent one and half year working as a risk and quantitative analyst in a commodity trading house and completed a Master of Computing degree at National University of Singapore (NUS).

My research involves exploring and enhancing the robustness of natural language processing (NLP) systems. Currently, I am primarily focusing on two key aspects of large language models (LLMs): (1) alleviating the hallucinations of LLMs (knowledge grounding) and (2) advancing the safety of LLMs (psychologically).
