Renmin University of China

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence (GSAI), Renmin University of China (RUC), supervised by Qi Qi and Hao Sun. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s degree from the Joint Programme between Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), majoring in Internet of Things (IoT), where I graduated with First Class Honour.

My research interests lie broadly in decision-making, which inolves game theory, causal inference, reinforcement learning and post training for LLMs. In particular, I am interested in:

  • Game theory, Reinforcement Learning, and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: understanding strategic interactions, equilibrium behavior, and learning dynamics among multiple intelligent agents.
  • Operation Research (OR) for LLMs: developing optimization and decision-making frameworks to improve the reliability, efficiency, and controllability of large language models.
