Hi! I am Jinu Lee, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UIUC working on NLP/AI. I am fortunate to be advised by Julia Hockenmaier.

My research focuses on understanding reasoning traces of large language models. Specific topics include:

• Understanding the text-level and mechanistic-level structures of LLM reasoning
• Evaluating and improving the reasoning capability of LLMs
• Trustworthy reasoning in high-stakes domains (e.g., law, tax, medicine, ...)

You can find my CV here.
