About

I am a Research Fellow at Duke-NUS Medical School & NUS CQT (advised by Prof. Enrico Petretto) and Nanyang Technological University (advised by Prof. Erik Cambria).

My research focuses on Large Language Model Reasoning, Knowledge Graph Question Answering, and their applications in Quantum Computing and AI-driven Drug Design. I am particularly interested in developing faithful reasoning methods that enhance the interpretability and reliability of AI systems.

I have published multiple first-author papers at top venues including AAAI, SIGIR, COLING, and journals such as Information Fusion (IF=15.5).
