I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Eindhoven University of Technology, under the supervision of Mykola Pechenizkiy and Meng Fang. I am also very fortunate to work closely with Prof. Yali Du at King’s College London, and Prof. Biwei Huang at University of California San Diego. Prior to joining TU/e, I was a master student in Shandong University (SDU), supervised by Prof. Wei Zhang. I also obtained my bachelor's degree from Shandong University.

My research focuses on reinforcement learning, especially RL for LLMs and causal RL. And I have published 10+ papers at the top AI conferences. Google Scholar citations

I am currently on the job market and actively looking for collaboration and visiting opportunities. If you are interested, feel free to contact me. Email
