About Me

I am a PhD student at IST College, Pennsylvania State University. Currently, I am a member of HLT lab, contributing to the PrivaSeer project led by Dr. Wilson and Dr.Giles. This project aims to enhance the accessibility and comprehensibility of privacy policy documents.

My research focuses on NLP, Human-Centered AI, and Responsible AI, with an emphasis on the safety, privacy, and alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) through techniques like RLHF and RLAIF. I also explore LLM agents and multi-agent systems as a new research direction.
