I am an incoming master’s student at BIVLab, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and will enroll in September 2027. I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in Intelligent Science and Technology at North China Electric Power University (Baoding), expected to graduate in 2027. I am also a Research Intern at LivSyn Robotics.
I am interested in intelligent systems that learn through interaction, expand their capabilities, and help advance intelligence itself.
My current research interests include:
- Embodied AI
- Code Agents

🤝 Acknowledgements
I have been fortunate to learn from, work with, and grow alongside many wonderful people throughout my research journey.
Listed alphabetically by first name.
Hongtao Wang
North China Electric Power University
Prof. Wang is my undergraduate advisor. He has given me tremendous support and freedom in learning, exploring research directions, and pursuing the questions that genuinely interest me.
Huichi Zhou
University College London
Huichi led me through my earliest stages of learning research. Over the years, he has been not only a mentor in research, but also a mentor in life and a close friend.
Jun Xia
HKUST (Guangzhou)
Jun was my advisor at HKUST (Guangzhou), where we worked together on AI for Science and multimodal reasoning. Under his guidance, I gradually learned how to independently develop and carry a research project from an initial idea through experiments and writing.
Qi Lu
Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Qi is a research collaborator and close friend. We have had a rather unexpected and memorable journey of working together, and continue to exchange new ideas and explore interesting questions through our ongoing discussions.
Wei Yang
North China Electric Power University
Wei is my closest collaborator and my life partner. We have shared a winding but deeply rewarding research journey, working through setbacks, discoveries, and many of the moments in between together.
Zilin Li
Donghua University
Zilin has been one of my closest friends since high school, as well as a long-term collaborator and discussion partner. Many ideas, research-related or otherwise, have grown out of our conversations over the years.
