-Hello! I am a 1st year CS PhD at Princeton University working with <a href="https://www.peterhenderson.co/">Peter Henderson</a>. Before that, I worked as a research scientist in Amazon Foundation Model (Amazon AGI) Post-Training team with <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=w90wOucAAAAJ&hl=en">Dr. Yang Liu</a> and <a href="https://siebelschool.illinois.edu/about/people/faculty/dilek">Prof. Dilek Hakkani-Tur</a> in Sunnyvale, CA. Previously, I did my Bachelors at <a href="https://english.pku.edu.cn/">Peking University</a> and then did my Masters at <a href="https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/statistics-datascience/index.html">Carnegie Mellon University</a>.

-I work primarily on natural language processing, large language models and dialogue systems. I am particularly interested in AI alignment, reasoning, and agentic behavior especially in multi-agent interactions. I am also broadly interested in socially-aware NLP and AI safety. Feel free to reach out to me to chat about research ideas and I'm open to collaborations on interesting topics!
+I work primarily on natural language processing, large language models and dialogue systems. I seek a deeper understanding of how language serves as a reasoning channel to enable/exhibit machine intelligence, as a crucial tool to preserve human knowledge, and as a fundamental capability to facilitate large-scale communication. I am fascinated by the interactive nature of language, and am exploring a wide range of topics including AI alignment, reasoning and agentic behavior especially in multi-agent cooperations. I am also broadly interested in AI safety and grounded language understanding. Feel free to reach out to me to chat about research ideas and I'm open to collaborations on interesting topics!
 
-Outside of work, I am a foodie who loves to discover local hidden gems and share with my dear friends. I also enjoy a healthy lifestyle and love doing a wide range of sports, and I recently have started running and finished my first half marathon in San Francisco in 2024. Being a language lover at heart, I've been pre-trained with Chinese and fine-tuned on English, Korean, German and Japanese in school, but I might suffer from catastrophic forgetting sometimes. I've also touched upon scriptwriting for a bit, and wrote <a href="https://www.startfilmstudio.org/first-time-filmmaker-incubator/wedding-bells">a short film</a> based on a real story during the pandemic time, which won several local film awards in Seattle, WA.
