About Me

Hi! I am a third-year PhD student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(Guangzhou). Previously, I received my master’s degree at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, majoring at Cyberspace Security. I also received a bachelor degree in mathematics and applied mathematics from the same school. My research interests lie in the explanations of graph models and large language models (LLMs).
