Hello👋, here is a person who stumbled into the field of AI by accident and still hasn’t left. He graduated from the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at Renmin University of China with a bachelor’s degree.

He is passionate about hackathons and has secured significant prizes in various competitions organized by prominent Chinese internet companies. Nowadays, he is more involved as a hackathon organizer.

His research interests lie primarily in Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a focus on LLM test-time scaling through approaches including reasoning frameworks, reasoning models (e.g., o1 and R1), and agentic workflow optimization.

He is still seeking PhD opportunities. It’s a long journey, but he never lacks the perseverance to grow through adversity.
