• I curerently lead a team in Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute, working on LLM agents for mental health. Before that I served as a research scientist at Bytedance AI-Lab (Singapore) for more than 2 years, working on multimodal LLM and trustworthy AI.
• Before joining Bytedance, I obtained my PhD degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering in Nanyang Technological University.

Research Interests: LLM Agents, Multimodal LLM, Trustworthy AI
