Biography

I graduated with distinction from the Special Class for the Gifted Young at Xi’an Jiaotong University. I then obtained an MSc in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computational Neuroscience at EPFL. I worked on several topics that caught my interest while I was studying: in my undergrad, I conducted research on neuromorphic computing, and in my Master’s, I worked on human-like illusions in self-supervised models and on characterizing non-smooth stationary points in neural network landscapes. I am now a doctoral student in the EDIC fellowship program, and my current research focuses on the mechanistic interpretability of language models.
