2023 - 2027 (Expected)
GPA: 3.6/4.0 | CET4: 594
Research Interests
LLM-based AI
Explores LLM-driven reasoning, multi-agent collaboration, and the integration of LLMs with external knowledge and environments to support complex decision-making and human-centered applications.
AI for Cognitive Intelligence
Building Cognitive Agents that can deeply understand human emotions, motivations, intentions, and moral learning. Through the collaborative reasoning of Multi-Agent Systems, provide innovative technological paths for solving complex reasoning problems and social issues.
AI for Social Good
Primarily includes real-world applications such as social media analysis, fact-checking, and ensuring the factuality and safety of Large Language Models (LLMs).
