I’m a final-year undergraduate student in Computer Science at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. I will graduate in summer 2026 and join the University of Cambridge as an M.Phil. student in Fall 2026.
I am currently a research intern at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), affiliated with NLPR and MAIS, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shu Wu and work with Dr. Mengqi Zhang.
My research focuses on understanding and controlling foundation models (especially their knowledge and memory), and on using these foundations to support progress across diverse areas, making AI systems more reliable and trustworthy in the real world. I am broadly interested in topics including interpretability, knowledge editing & unlearning, memory management, and safety/alignment.
