Biography

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell University advised by Professor Immanuel Trummer. I am currently interested in leveraging advanced techniques from the Natural Language Processing field (e.g., Large Language Model) to enhance the efficiency, usability and generality of database systems. During my time at Sichuan University as a B.Eng student, I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Mingjie Tang and Professor Jianguo Wang from Purdue University, focusing on utilizing machine learning techniques to optimize database performance.
