About me

I am currently a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). Prior to this, I worked at Apple Singapore as a research engineer, designing LLM-based products. I obtained my Ph.D. from the NTU-NLP Lab at Nanyang Technological University, advised by Associate Professor Shafiq Joty and Associate Professor Aixin Sun and supported by the AI.SG Scholarship. For research directions, I enjoy working on the topic of LLM Agents, with the goal of trustworthiness and reliability. Specifically, I am intrigued by the research question of endowing LLM agents with reasoning abilities by mimicing human thinking processes.

Prior to my Ph.D. journey, I received my B.S. in Mathematics from Courant Institute, New York University (NYU). I then graduated with an M.S. in Data Science from Harvard University. After spending 6 years in the U.S., I returned to Asia and have been staying in Singapore.
