Professional Summary

B.S. in Statistics (Minor in Mathematics) at UIUC. I work at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and AI safety—focusing on alignment, causal inference, Bayesian methods, and graph machine learning. My strength is cross-domain transfer: taking a framework apart functionally, testing causal directions with minimal experiments, and combining complementary streams into a working loop.

Experience

  • 2025 - 2026

    Research Assistant (Advisor: Prof. Xiaowei Luo)
    City University of Hong Kong
    Climate Risk Assessment System.
    • Applied the ISI-MIP ATTRICI framework (Python, xarray, netCDF4, PyMC/SciPy) to generate counterfactual climate datasets for aviation emission trade-off risk assessment.
    • Ran the 8-step detrending and quantile-mapping pipeline to fit variable-specific statistical models and preserve observational rank structure across scenarios.
    • Built probabilistic risk-analysis and visualization workflows to assess CO2 vs. non-CO2 aviation emission trade-offs for research decision support.
  • 2025 - 2026

    Research Assistant (Advisor: Prof. Mi Xiang)
    Shanghai Jiao Tong University
    Aviation Personnel Mental Health Tracking Application.
    • Implemented a session-memory component for a mental-health support agent using LangGraph, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL/pgvector with CoALA-inspired memory design.
    • Structured memory into three CoALA-inspired layers—semantic facts, episodic arcs, and procedural rules—for longitudinal mental-health tracking.
    • Connected memory and safety logic across five interfaces (CLI, Next.js web chat, LiveKit web voice, Telegram, FastAPI backend).
  • 2025 - 2025

    AI Software Developer Intern
    Zhongshan Securities Co., Ltd
    • Built a heterogeneous fraud-graph preprocessing pipeline (Python, pandas, DGL, SageMaker) over the IEEE-CIS fraud dataset for transaction-risk classification.
    • Trained graph-based fraud classifiers with DGL, comparing GNN relational modeling against MLP and XGBoost baselines.
    • Configured an end-to-end AWS deployment workflow with Lambda triggers, custom Docker images, S3, IAM, and CloudFormation.
  • 2025 - 2025

    Fullstack Intern
    PhinD LLC
    • Adapted AWS’s sagemaker-graph-fraud-detection solution, running its preprocessing pipeline on IEEE-CIS data for fraud classification.
    • Evaluated graph-based fraud classifiers using DGL heterogeneous graphs and RGCN against MLP and XGBoost baselines.
    • Deployed the end-to-end AWS workflow with Lambda-triggered modules, Docker images, S3, IAM, and CloudFormation.
  • 2024 - 2024

    AI Software Developer Intern
    NetEase Youdao Information Technology Co., Ltd.
    • Built a multilingual OCR engine supporting 20 languages at 96% per-image accuracy, 1.5s/image, 100K+ daily volume.
    • Developed OpenCV-based image enhancement and YOLOv8 text detection (94.2% localization), improving blurred-image recognition by 30%.
    • Built a multi-engine translation service (FastAPI, Google/Baidu/DeepL) supporting 50+ languages at 300ms average latency.
    • Developed an AI text-polishing system on GPT-3.5 with prompt engineering, improving readability by 30% and reaching 89% user satisfaction.
