Nanjing University
I am an undergraduate student at Nanjing University, majoring in Computer Science and Technology with a focus on Brain Science and AI. Currently ranked 2/24 in my program, I am passionate about advancing the frontiers of AI through rigorous research and implementation.
My research interests lie in Generative Models, Imitation Learning, World Models, and Embodied AI. I believe in combining strong mathematical foundations with practical coding skills to tackle challenging problems in machine learning and robotics.
Research Experience
I am fortunate to work with exceptional researchers at:
- LAMDA-RL Lab at Nanjing University (Aug 2025 - Present)
- Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR) at Tsinghua University (Dec 2025 - Mar 2026)
My recent work on non-adversarial imitation learning has been accepted to ICML 2026, where we explore provably eliminating compounding errors through Bellman constraints.
Beyond Research
I am deeply committed to community service, having served as a peer mentor and led various student organizations at Nanjing University. I am self-motivated, eager to explore cutting-edge technologies, and always ready to collaborate on exciting research projects.
