About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Prior to UIUC, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Harvard University. I received my Ph.D. from University of Michigan and a B.Eng. from Tsinghua University.
I’m interested in the broad area of trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, my research focuses on data-centric problems, including data attribution, machine unlearning, training data curation, and copyright issues of generative AI.
For students who want to work with me, please see here for more details.
