Biography

I am currently pursuing my master's degree at Peking University, advised by Prof. Songfang Huang. I received my bachelor's degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

My research interests mainly focus on: 1) Language Model Architecture and Training/Inference Methods: designing model architectures and training/inference techniques for discrete-token language models and continuous diffusion language models to improve task-specific performance or general capabilities; 2) Agentic Systems: memory, workflow, and data flywheel for LLM-based agents.

If you share similar research interests, feel free to reach out.

I expect to graduate in June 2027 and am currently seeking full-time opportunities. Please feel free to reach out.
我预计于 2027 年 6 月毕业,目前正在寻找 2027 届校招全职机会,欢迎联系。

Misc

I am interested in zero-sum environments, including both markets and games. In my spare time, I engage in trading activities in markets such as cryptocurrencies, U.S. stocks, and prediction markets, as well as games like Texas Hold'em and Mahjong.

I enjoy analyzing these competitive settings and trying to gain an edge through strategy and reasoning. It's just for fun — don't gamble. Recently, I have also been exploring how to use LLMs in these trading markets, including factor mining and automated trading systems, etc., to assist trading decisions.

I also enjoy video games, including single-player games on platforms such as PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, as well as cooperative multiplayer games. My favorite game is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—the 100+ hours I spent playing it are among the happiest moments of my life. For multiplayer games, I particularly enjoy League of Legends, which is probably the game I've spent the most time playing.
