I am an undergraduate at Tsinghua University pursuing a dual-degree program in Mathematics and Physics (B.S.) + Software Engineering (B.Eng.). My research interests include AI safety, LLM agent security, content provenance, and efficient long-context language-model systems.

I currently work on defenses against indirect prompt injection in LLM agents with Prof. Yinpeng Dong, and on the robustness of watermarking and signature mechanisms for AI-generated content with Prof. Yuheng Bu. Previously, I worked on LLM post-training for crystal-structure prediction with Prof. Yang Liu and conducted research on LLM agent security at Tencent Xuanwu Lab.

I will join the University of California, Berkeley as a UCEAP exchange student from January to May 2027.
