Hi there! I am a Master Student at the Zhejiang University.

Currently, my research is centered on trustworthy LLMs, with a specific emphasis on improving the reliability and robustness of LLM agents, LLM-based multi-agent systems (LLM-MAS), and large reasoning models. I'm especially interested in mitigating risks such as prompt injection in these systems.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research!

Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) 2025 Poster

LLM agents face Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) when using tools with untrusted data, as hidden instructions can make them perform malicious actions. Our new defense, IPIGuard, significantly enhances agent security against these attacks by separating action planning from external data interaction using a Tool Dependency Graph (TDG).
