About Me



Howdy! I am currently a 4th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science, at Rice University. My advisor is Prof. Xia Hu, who leads the DATA Lab and Rice and Rice D2K Lab. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jiwen Lu.

My research interests lie in trustworthy AI, with a particular interest in the areas of Explainable, Fair, and Robust DNNs.
