About Me

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS, Yao Class) at Tsinghua University, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. Prior to this, I was a member of the China National Physics Olympiad Training Team.

In terms of academic performance, my average GPA is 3.83/4.00. I am currently working with Professor Mengdi Xu, and previously I had the honor of conducting research under the supervision of Professor Li Yi. My research focuses on robotics.

Outside of research, I enjoy 🏊‍♂️ swimming, ⚾ softball, 🏸 badminton, 🎤 singing, 📖 reading, and 🌍 traveling. Next semester, I plan to start learning 🎾 tennis and 🇫🇷 French. I truly value meaningful conversations and collaborations—if you share similar interests or would like to connect on research or beyond, I would be delighted to hear from you!✨

Research Interests

My long-term research interest lies in combining Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Embodied Foundation Models, focusing on leveraging large-model priors to supercharge RL post-training. I am particularly excited about three directions:

Publications

Projects

  1. Surveyed the development, variants, and practical performance of approximation algorithms for the Facility Location Problem, highlighting theoretical advances and implementation insights.

  2. Proposed STAMP—a dual approach combining targeted prompt engineering with a pluggable memory-augmented adapter—for controllable translation from modern to Classical Chinese.

  3. Investigated photorealistic image synthesis through a from-scratch C++ path tracing renderer, analyzing acceleration structures, sampling strategies, and material modeling to evaluate efficiency and quality.

  4. It's a platform that allows operators, sellers, and regulators to manage and interact with goods and services in an online marketplace.
    Language: Scala, TypeScript, HTML, CSS

  5. Introduced MagicDance, a fascinating pipeline that can automatically produce personalized dance videos from an arbitrary music clip and a single reference image of a dancer.

  6. We solved the art-style-classification problem by a two-stage architecture where a DNN extracts features from image patches and an SNN adapter makes the final classification.
