My career is driven by a dual passion: advancing technology for the benefit of humanity and the personal joy of discovery.
I am an AI researcher at MiroMind AI, an AGI-focused organization under Shanda Group, where I specialize in agentic model development. Before joining MiroMind, I conducted research at A*STAR and the National University of Singapore (NUS). I earned my PhD from the University of Southern California (USC).
I grew up in Jining, Shandong, and have since lived and worked in several cities across the globe, including Chengdu, Hong Kong, Ontario, and Los Angeles. I am currently based in Singapore, where I really enjoy staying.
