I work on the models underneath intelligent agents: how they are pretrained, and how they act in the physical world.

I am a B.S. candidate in Computer Science at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University. Since July 2026 I have been doing pretraining research at 九坤至知研究院 (Ubiquant), where I study hyper-connections: replacing the single residual stream of a Transformer with several learnable, interacting streams.

Before that I worked on embodied intelligence: Vision-Language-Action foundation models and flow-matching control policies at Galaxea, and LLM-based embodied agents and multi-agent simulation with Prof. Chuang Gan at UMass Amherst.
