I am a second-year PhD student in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, advised by Cheng Tan. My research focuses on the intersection of large language model (LLM) systems and LLM safety. I also work on neural networks for computer systems.

My current projects include:

• BOA: A system to formalize and solve the jailbreak oracle problem for LLMs using search over different decoding paths, accepted to MLSys 2026.
• NN4SysBench: A benchmark for studying neural network verification in computer systems, accepted to NeurIPS 2024 (Datasets & Benchmarks Track).

Outside of research, I enjoy driving and visiting U.S. National Parks.
When I get stuck on research, I also enjoy cleaning my room :)
