I'm a research scientist at Meta, working on agentic post-training, with a focus on stepwise reward assignment and recursive self-evolving capability.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (2025) from the University of California, Merced and B.Eng. in Software Engineering (2021) from Tsinghua University.
