About
I am a Ph.D. candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, advised by
Prof. Benyou Wang and co-supervised by
Ming Yan.
My research focuses on agentic systems built with large language models,
especially systems that can perceive, reason, and act in real environments.
I am especially interested in coding agents, computer-use agents, and phone-use agents,
with a focus on making them more capable, reliable, and privacy-aware in practical settings.
I have had the opportunity to work with teams including
Tencent Hunyuan, Moonshot AI (Kimi), Qwen,
and Microsoft Research Asia.
