👋 About Me

I’m a second-year MPhil student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Yanlin Zhang and Prof. Zhijiang Guo. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Before pursuing my MPhil, I was fortunate to work as a research intern at Tencent AI Lab under the supervision of Prof. Jianhua Yao and at CAIRI, Westlake University under the supervision of Prof. Stan Z. Li.

My research interests focus on code generation and reward modeling for large language models. Feel free to reach out for potential collaborations, job opportunities, or if you just want to have a chat!
