I am a second-year graduate student at the School of Computer Science and Technology at Beijing Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Yuxia Zhang. Prior to this, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2023.

My research primarily focuses on AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE). Recently, I have concentrated on reinforcement learning approaches to enhance LLMs’ reasoning capabilities, with the goal of improving their performance on automatic SE tasks such as code generation.

I am also interested in MLSys and enjoy building scalable systems. I have had several MLSys internships and recently I’ve been actively contributing to the verl community. I believe RL represents a critical pathway toward AGI and it’s an art of combining research and engineering.

Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested in having a discussion :)
