About Me

Hi there! I am Yijun Pan, a senior undergraduate student at University of Michigan, majoring in Data Science. I am also dual majoring in Electrical and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During my undergrad years in both institutions, I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Qiaozhu Mei, Prof. David Jurgens, Prof. Jiaqi Ma and Prof. Jie Liu.

My research interest lies in explainable AI and its application to scientific discovery, with an emphasis on Large Language Models. In particular, I am interested in the following research question:

• How does the model arrive at a certain prediction?
• What are the implications of explainability on LLM-assisted scientific discovery?
