About me

Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University. I am advised by Professor Zhiyuan Liu and affiliated with the Natural Language Processing Lab (THUNLP). My research interests lie within the intersection of natural language processing, large-scale language models, and Legal AI. Before I becoming a Ph.D. student, I also received my bachelor degree from Tsinghua University.
