I am a 2026 graduate of the Software Engineering at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Tongji University, and I’m going to pursue my Master’s degree in Computer Science at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science) in New York University, starting in September 2026. My research interests focus on natural language processing, specifically agents and post-training. I have gained valuable research experience through internships at leading institutions including Tongji University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Xi’an Jiaotong University, and worked closely with Prof. Changqing Yin (Tongji Univ), Prof. Tian Zhou (Xi’an Jiaotong Univ), Prof. Le Sun (ISCAS), Prof. Yaojie Lu (ISCAS).
