Research Interest
"There is something inside of me. What is it?" - Vincent van Gogh
I've been fascinated by how and why people think, and what thoughts truly are. Can machines have thoughts, too?
Rooted in the disciplines of Computer Science and Cognitive Science, I am currently focusing on how to
(1) interpret the internal workings of large language models;
(2) better quantitatively model and understand social interactions.
