About Me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Arkansas, advised by Dr. Xintao Wu. My research interests broadly span causality, generative modeling, and applications in trustworthy AI. Specifically, my current research mainly focuses on causal representation learning and counterfactual generation. I am also particularly interested in the application of causal generative models in the healthcare domain. Previously, I obtained my Master's degree in Computer Science and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Mathematics at the University of Arkansas, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
