I am a senior undergraduate student studying Data Science at the University of Michigan and Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I will be joining UCLA as a Computer Science Ph.D. student, advised by Prof. Yangruibo (Robin) Ding.
I am a research intern at Princeton University, working with Prof. Mengdi Wang on AI agent systems and with Prof. Sanfeng Wu on AI for quantum materials, where I work closely with Jiahao Qiu and Shilong Liu. I also work with Prof. Yan Chen at Northwestern University on LLM reasoning and AI safety, where I work closely with Haozheng (Robin) Luo. At the University of Michigan, I work closely with Xinliang (Frederick) Zhang and Kaijian Zou.
My research interests lie in Large Language Models and Agentic AI, with a focus on LLM reasoning, self-evolving AI agents, and the safety & robustness of LLM-based systems. I also have experience in code generation and multimodal systems.
