Email is the best way to reach me.

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the University of VirginiaUVA, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tom Hartvigsen and Prof. David Evans. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Tim Althoff.

My research focuses on LLM agents and post-training, with a particular emphasis on time-series forecasting and reasoning tasks. Previously, I studied at Fudan University, where I worked with Prof. Zhe Zhou on Machine Learning Security and Side-Channel Informations.

I am also a Student Researcher at GoogleGoogle, working on agent-related projects now.
