I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of California, Davis, a member of LUKA Group. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Muhao Chen. Before that, I received my Master degree from Fudan University in 2025 and my Bachelor degree from Fudan University in 2022.

My research interests are broadly in Natural Language Processing and Multimodality, focusing on Reasoning, Planning, and RAG across different modalities.

Besides research, I enjoy swimming🏊‍♂️, basketball🏀, bowling🎳, tennis🎾 and piano🎹.
