About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at University of Toronto, adviced by Prof. Xujie Si, Prof. Chris J. Maddison and Prof. Jimmy Ba. I have graduated from IIIS, Tsinghua University (YaoClass) in 2019, major in computer science.

Research Interests

My current research interest is in developing Language Model Agents.

I am broadly interested in artificial intelligence and have also worked on various topics including Reasoning, Graph Neural Networks, Reinforcement Learning and Computer Vision.
