Hi there! I am currently a Master's student in Spatial Data Science at the University of Southern California. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Minzu University of China.

My research interests revolve around the explainability and interpretability of Large Language Models. I’m particularly focused on understanding how these models make decisions and ensuring transparency in their outputs. Beyond that, I’m also passionate about applying AI to solve real-world problems, especially in areas like traffic systems and spatial data science.

By blending strong theoretical foundations with real-world applications, I aim to make AI not only smarter but also more understandable and impactful in practical settings.
