About Me
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University, working under the supervision of Prof. Wenpeng Yin. My research focuses on advancing Large Language Models (LLMs), with an emphasis on multi-agent collaboration and deep reasoning capabilities for scientific and healthcare applications.
Previously, I completed my Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence at Northwestern University and my Bachelor's in Computer Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I worked on computer vision and surgical AI applications.
Research Interests
My research focuses on advancing LLMs, particularly in multi-agent collaboration and deep reasoning capabilities, with an emphasis on real-world scientific and healthcare applications.
Multi-agent LLM Systems
Developing collaborative AI systems where multiple language models work together to solve complex problems, critique research, and generate improved solutions.
Deep Reasoning within LLMs
Enhancing the explainability and trustworthiness of large language models to make them more reliable for critical applications in science and healthcare.
LLM Applications in Healthcare
Applying advanced language model methodologies to clinical decision support, disease prediction, and personalized medicine challenges.
