Hi there, thanks for visiting my website! I am a Ph.D. student at UT Austin CS starting in August 2026. I completed my Master's degree at the School of Artificial Intelligence at Nanjing University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yang Yu and affiliated with the LAMDA Group led by Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou. Specifically, I was a member of the LAMDA-RL Group, which focuses on reinforcement learning research. Prior to that, I was an undergraduate student at the same school.

Unity makes strength. Currently my research interest is Reinforcement Learning (RL), especially in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) that enables agents efficiently, robustly and safely coordinate with other agents🤖 and even humans👩‍🦰.

Please feel free to drop me an Email for any form of communication or collaboration!
