About Me

I am an incoming first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Oregon State University. I am studying trustworthy and socially responsible machine learning under the supervision of Professor Sanghyun Hong, where I am a member of the Secure AI systems Lab (SAIL). The goal of my research is to audit and improve the robustness of machine learning systems agaisnt adversarial threats, misuse, and generally undesirable behaviors. Currently, I am particularly interested in improving the trustworthiness of large language models (for example, reducing toxicity and auditing jailbreaking). Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss my work or potential collaborations!
