I am a PhD student at CCDS, Nanyang Technological University. I am advised by Asst. Prof. Wenya Wang and co-advised by Assoc. Prof. Shafiq Joty.
My research interest is in understanding LLMs via .
I am specifically keen on developing rigorous explanations of model components and representations by mapping them to human-understandable mechanisms or concepts and characterizing their causal role in model behavior. I have a hunch that such explanations can enable precise control over model outputs.

From 2025 to 2026, I was a Research Assistant at VinUniversity with Asst. Prof. Le Duy Dung and Prof. Wray Buntine. Before that, I was an intern at AUMOVIO-NTU Corporate Lab.
I received my Master’s degree in Data Science from NTU in 2025, where I was a Class Champion graduate and a Vingroup Scholar.
