I am Chi Han (pronounced like “Chur Han”), currently a 2nd year Computer Science Ph.D. student in NLP group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), gratefully under guidance of Prof. Heng Ji. Before joining UIUC, I was an undergraduate student at Tsinghua University, China, in the distinguished Yao Class program, where Prof. Chongjie Zhang served as my advisor. In 2019 I had the opportunity to visit CoCoSci Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where I had the privilege of collaborating with excellect researchers including Prof. Josh Tenenbaum, Prof. Jiajun Wu, Jiayuan Mao and Prof. Chuang Gan.

At present, my research interests are centered around theoretical and conceptual understanding of large language models (LLMs), with the aim to provide insights and develop useful tools that can benefit practitioners in the field of Natural Language Processing.
