About Me
I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department department at Uiversity of Florida (UF). My advisor is Dr. Jie Fu. I earned my B.S. degree in Statistics from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, China in 2022.
In 2016, when I was a high school student, I saw Alphago beat Lee Sedol on TV. This scene completely shocked me, but I believe that the potential of AI goes far beyond this. That’s why I choose to work on game theory and reinforcement learning. Sure enough, with the appearance of chatGPT in 2022, it has brought us a brand new industrial revolution. I am very honored to be involved in the development and construction of AI.
My CV is attached.
Research Interest
My research interests lie in Agentic Reinforcement Learning, Multi-Agent Systems, and active inference. I’m currently working on information-flow control problems on LLM agents.
- Privacy-Preserving Agents
- Active Information Acquisition Agents
