About
I joined King's College London in February 2023, where I am currently a Senior Research Scientist in Large Language Models, working on the EMBRACE project (Enhanced Maternal and Baby Results with AI-supported Care and Empowerment). My research focuses on natural language processing and machine learning, with particular interests in LLM reasoning and interactive AI applications.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science (2019–2023) and an MSc in Data Science (2018–2019) from the University of Warwick, supervised by Prof. Yulan He and Dr. Lin Gui. I also earned my BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2015–2018).
Research interests:
LLM Reasoning – Conflict-aware Reasoning; Opinion Mining; Logical Reasoning; Information Extraction.
Interactive AI Applications – Personalised Agents; AI for Health, Education, and Entertainment; Multimodal Enhanced Interaction; Simulation of Human Social Interactions
