Welcome to my personal academic website repository! This site showcases my research, publications, and academic journey in Computer Science.
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at The Ohio State University, advised by Prof. Zhihui Zhu. My research focuses on mechanistic interpretability of large language models, with particular emphasis on:
- Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) for feature discovery and representation analysis
- Difference-in-Means Techniques combined with SAEs for feature validation
- Model Geometry and reasoning processes in neural networks
- Self-reflection mechanisms in language models
- Self-Reflection in Language Models: Investigating emergence and control mechanisms
- SAE-based Feature Discovery: Developing methods for interpretable feature extraction
- Statistical Validation: Combining difference-in-means with neural network analysis
- "From Emergence to Control: Probing and Modulating Self-Reflection in Language Models" (arXiv 2025)
- "Alleviating subgraph-induced oversmoothing in link prediction via coarse graining" (2025)
- "FCDS: Fusing Constituency and Dependency Syntax into Document-Level Relation Extraction" (2024)
