I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UT Austin, co-advised by Prof. Atlas Wang and Prof. Qixing Huang.

Previously, I completed my Master of Philosophy at CUHK, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Tianfan Xue. I received my bachelor's degree from ShanghaiTech.

Research

I enjoy working on fundamental problems and applications in machine learning. My current research focuses on language modeling (diffusion language models, visual coding agents), training efficiency (decentralized training, representation alignment), and unified generation (autoregressive diffusion).

Outside of research

I'm really into playing (electric) guitar, especially genres rooted in rock and blues.
