I am a PhD student in Computer Science at The University of Chicago.
I work at Google DeepMind's Gemini team as a student researcher, previously a research intern.
I work on large model post-training for automated reasoning (e.g., theorem proving, competitive programming), with self-play methods in reinforcement learning.
I was the co-founder of Eigent AI, which backs up and is open-sourced at Camel AI.
I will join Google DeepMind as a Research Scientist late this summer.

I was formally trained to be an economist. My advisor was Prof. Yusen Kwoh, who was advised by Nobel Laureate Prof. Gary Becker.
I occasionally archive my grandfather's unpublished writings at this blog (e.g., Dream Thoughts). He has burned most of them during the cultural revolution.
