About

I am doing my second year of a PhD at the Language Technology Lab, University of Cambridge, advised by Prof. Anna Korhonen.

I work on multilingual NLP: getting large language models to work well, and fairly, across languages rather than only in English. My interests span interpretability, alignment, and uncertainty and calibration, with a particular eye on low-resource and non-Latin-script languages.

Language et al.

Wu is my muttersprache but my education was in Mandarin. Apart from that I speak some French, Japanese, Russian, English and German to varying degrees. I am learning Polish and Portuguese this year. I am passionate about languages and it has always been a motivation for me to work on NLP.

Some other things: I am a cinema enthusiast and I was at the 76th–79th Festival de Cannes; I consider myself a Buddhist; I trained Guqin at the Xihu Qinshe and taught it at ZJU for a year.
