I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Prof. Min-Yen Kan and Prof. Soujanya Poria. Previously, I obtained my Master’s degree in Computer Science and Bachelor’s degree in Inforamtion Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), fortunately advised by Prof. Weinan Zhang.
Recently, my research mainly focus on LLM reasoning and AI agents, especially:
- Reinforcement learning for reasoning models and agentic LLMs.
- LLM with memory augmentation for long context understanding.
- LLM-based multi-agent collaboration and competition.
I am looking for 2026 summer research internship in U.S., Singapore, and China! Feel free to reach out to me if there is an opportunity that you believe I am a good fit, or you are interested in academic discussion / collaboration.
