Research Overview
My current research focuses on how we can characterize and control the behavior of astonishingly complex AI systems, particularly those driven by Large Language Models. This is especially pertinent in areas beyond supervised learning, such as employing Reinforcement Learning and Game Theory to help align LLMs in context of Trustworthy AI or enhance their capabilities in long-horizon reasoning for LLM agents.
I am also interested in Multimodal Models and embodied AI, particularly in how these systems perceive and model the world.

Ministry of Education Talent Program Thesis
I was selected for the Ministry of Education Talent Program and conducted research in the math track guided by Falai Chen
at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) during my high school years.
I was also selected as the Outstanding Thesis of the National Math Forum 2019 of the Ministry of Education Talent Program.
