Bio

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Department of Computer Science at Rice University, fortunately co-advised by Prof. Xia Hu and Prof. Arlei Silva. I earned my B.Eng. with honors in Computer Science from Shandong University in 2022.

I am actively seeking full-time Research Scientist, Applied Scientist, or Machine Learning Engineer positions starting in 2027. Feel free to reach out if you have any opportunities or would like to discuss potential collaborations.

Research Interests

My research focuses on building efficient, reliable, and adaptive AI systems that can personalize to users, reason across modalities, and interact with external tools and environments.

• LLM Personalization & Recommender Systems: I study user modeling, cold-start personalization, parameter-efficient adaptation, shared/compositional model capacity, and Mixture-of-Experts for scalable personalized LLMs and recommendation systems. [LINEUP]

• Multimodal Learning & Vision-Language Models: I study robust learning across vision, language, and time-series modalities, with interests in cross-modal robustness, model editing, representation learning, time-series foundation models and time-series analysis. [GU] [ASSET] [CAST] [LTSM]

• LLM Agents & Reasoning: I develop tool-augmented and multi-agent systems for complex reasoning and decision-making, including post-training, routing, retrieval, self-correction, and reasoning over structured and time-series data. [CoQ] [ECLAD] [FETA]
