About me

Welcome! I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student of computer science at University of Pittsburgh, advised by Prof. Junyu Liu. Before that, I received my B.E. from Tianjin University, and my M.S. degree from Georgia Institute of Technology.

AI and agentic systems are becoming increasingly capable. My goal is to build and streamline agentic AI frameworks from first principles, and to interpret AI for safety through both scientific and empirical approaches, as well as to advance AI for Science (For now I focus on quantum).

I am actively seeking LLM or Quantum internship positions in the US for Summer’26.
Feel free to reach out for questions and collaborations!
