About
I am an incoming CS PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Tianmin Shu. I obtained my B.A. in Honors CS and Mathematics, and received CS Prize for the Most Promising Student from NYU. I was previously a visiting student at MIT working with Prof. Josh Tenenbaum and Prof. Tianmin Shu.
Here are some research directions I’m excited about:
Deliberate Reasoning: combine language models, agent models, and world models in a cognitively grounded way, and promote more robust and versatile reasoning across multiple modalities.
AI Agents: build the next generation of language agents that can interact with the world through reasoning, planning, managing memory, and learning from human and environment feedback.
Social Intelligence: create agents that can perceive, reason about, learn from, and respond to affect, behavior, and cognition of humans or other agents, and foster strategic collaborations among agents.
Besides academics, I enjoy roaming in movies and books. I am an avid reader of history and scientific fiction, as well as a dedicated writer read by more than 16,000,000 times on different platforms. I also enjoy playing “Go”, piano, badminton, hiking and so much more.
