Research Interests

My research agenda centers on data-centric AI for reliable foundation models. I study how machines can acquire, organize, internalize, and verify world knowledge from large-scale, heterogeneous, and evolving data, and how such knowledge can be transformed into more reliable, interpretable, and continuously improving AI systems. My work spans knowledge graphs, information extraction, multimodal world knowledge construction, large model failure discovery, data synthesis, model evaluation, and data flywheels.
