About
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). 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 machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, my research focuses on the data foundations of AI, including three complementary aspects: 1) understanding how training data impact AI models (data attribution); 2) developing data-centric algorithms that improve the quality and safety of training data (data curation and synthetic data generation); and 3) studying how data mediate the societal impact of AI (data compensation and machine unlearning).
