About

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Heidelberg University, affiliated with the Institute of Computer Science, where I am supervised by Prof. Dr. Artur Andrzejak (2023–present). I obtained my M.Sc. in Computational Mathematics from Tianjin University (2019–2022), supervised by Prof. Dr. Huaming Wu, and my B.Sc. in Computational Mathematics from Qingdao University of Science and Technology (2015–2019).

My research lies at the intersection of Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on trustworthy AI, interpretable machine learning, and large language models for code. Previously, I worked on efficient DNN offloading strategies. My work has been published in venues such as ICML, ICLR, IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking, and IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine.

Research Interests

  • Trustworthy and Interpretable Large Language Models — Mechanistic interpretability, knowledge editing, and reliability in Transformer models.

  • AI for Software Engineering — Code generation, translation, automated debugging, and intelligent developer tools.

  • Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) — Methods for transparent and interpretable machine learning.

  • Distributed and Edge AI Systems — Efficient DNN offloading and collaborative intelligence across local–edge–cloud environments.
