Research Interests: LLM, Reinforcemennt Learning, Agent
Welcome! I’m an M.S. student at the University of Washington working on large language models and reinforcement learning. I previously graduated from Purdue University with distinction. I am fortunated to have collaborated with Prof. Huan Zhang (UIUC) on the intersection of LLMs and RL, and with Prof. David I. Inouye (Purdue) on statistical machine learning.
I was grateful to be selected for NSF-funded summer research program twice, advised by Prof. Siva Theja Maguluri (Georgia Tech) and Prof. Lin Tan (Purdue).
I’m open to collaboration—please email me if you’d like to discuss ideas.
My research interests span across agentic ai, large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning.
