Biography

Hello! I am a third-year B.S. student in Computer Science and Technology at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. I was fortunate to be mentored by Shaobo Wang (Hunyuan Scholar) and advised by Prof. Linfeng Zhang at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Artificial Intelligence, where I worked as a research intern.

Currently, I am a research intern at the AIDATA Team, Alibaba Group, closely collaborating with the Qwen Team. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Meng Han at ZJU, as well as Prof. Yunpu Ma at LMU.

My research focuses on efficient methods to optimize Agentic AI across its lifecycle (training, inference, and evaluation), spanning reasoning and action, where verifiable, call-free synthesis across CPT/SFT/RL and efficient synthetic environments jointly enable efficient self-evolution, with quality and efficiency jointly optimized.

I am actively seeking Ph.D. positions for Fall 2027. If you have any opportunities or would like to discuss potential collaboration, please feel free to contact me by email. I welcome any opportunities and look forward to hearing from you!

Feel free to contact me by email if you are interested in discussing or collaborating with me.
