I am currently a PhD student at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in Natural Language Processing. I work in the CincyNLP, advised by Dr. Tianyu Jiang. My research focuses on interpretability and explainability of large language models, multimodality, semantics and linguistics, through the lens of figurative speech.
