Biography
I am currently working on advanced coding agent at Qwen Team. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2026, supervised by Prof. Houqiang Li and Prof. Wengang Zhou. I also received my B.E. degree from Shandong University (SDU) in 2021, where I was advised by Prof. Liqiang Nie and Prof. Xuemeng Song. My research interests include large language models and reinforcement learning. I am always open to discussing research opportunities and collaborations. Feel free to drop me an email.
