Hi~ I am a fifth-year PhD student at Pennsylvania State University, advised by Dr. Rui Zhang. Previously I have done my research internships in Microsoft Research and Amazon.

Research Interests

My research interests broadly lie in investigating novel techniques for stronger and data-efficient Natural Language Processing, with a focus on:

• Strategy and Prompt Optimization for Better Reasoning (ICLR ‘25)
• Data and Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning (EMNLP ‘23)
• Zero/Few Shot Learning (ACL 2022. ACL Findings ‘24)
