I am a PhD student at Beihang University, supervised by Prof. Xianglong Liu. My research focuses on the alignment of foundation models (LLMs/LVLMs), with a specific interest in inference-time interventions such as activation steering and knowledge editing. I am currently seeking internship opportunities to apply my research to real-world challenges. I am driven by the belief that advanced AI should not only push the boundaries of technology but also bring tangible convenience and positive impact to people’s daily lives.
