I am a Machine Learning Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Bo Dai. I am fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Na Li and the students in her group at Harvard University. Before starting my Ph.D., I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Nanjing University, where I conducted research in the LAMDA group.

My research focuses on reinforcement learning (RL) and generative modeling, with applications to LLM agents and robotics. My work spans three directions:

• Efficient reinforcement learning: Developing RL algorithms that improve efficiency through self-supervised learning and advances in generative model architectures.
• Generative models and agents for robotics: Developing foundational generative models and agentic systems for robotic learning and decision-making.
• LLM and agent post-training: Designing efficient post-training algorithms for large language models and interactive agents.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research!
