Short Bio. Hi! I am an incoming Assistant Professor at
College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS),
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Sciences at
University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) advised by Prof.
Sharon Li. Previously, I was an undergraduate student at Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) majoring in electronic engineering.
Research Interest. My current research focus is to develop theory and algorithms for reliable machine learning, foundation model reliability, and related applications, specifically I work on:
-
Out-of-distribution (OOD) research: designing adaptive and interpretable learning algorithms that help ML models detect and generalize on OOD samples, such as semantic/covariate shifts, adversarial and noisy samples.
-
Reliability of foundation models: understanding the blindspots of LLMs and VLMs for improved safeguarding efforts, such as model hallucination and harmful prompt detection.
-
Applications: Graph embedding, object detection and segmentation.
-
Interdisciplinary research: Biometrics, AI-aided cryo-microscopy/protein structural analysis.
⭐
I will lead the Radio Lab at NTU Singapore, working on Responsible, Aligned, Deployable Intelligence for human gOod (Radio).
⭐
I will recruit several PhD students, Research Assistants, Visiting Students and Interns in the fall. Please stayed tuned!
