About Me

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin–Madison. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science, UCLA, under the supervision of Prof. Yizhou Sun and Prof. Wei Wang. I completed my Ph.D. at Peking University (PKU) under the supervision of Prof. Minghua Deng. I also work closely with Prof. Hongyu Zhao and Prof. Xiting Yan at Yale University.

I'm a machine learning researcher with a focus on interdisciplinary applications (AI4Science). Recently, I've been focused on LLM Post-training, LLM (Agent) Applications, and Machine Learning for Graphs and Dynamical Systems.

If you are interested in my research or would like to work with me (including onsite/remote internship/collaboration), please feel free to email me!
