👋 About me
-
Currently Now:
I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science and Software Engineering at Auburn University, advised by Effat Farhana. -
In my Master:
I received my Master’s degree in Computer Science Engineering at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in the 2025 Spring. During my master’s studies, I am also a graduate research assistant volunteer at Johns Hopkins University, working withProf. Ziang Xiao and Prof. Jie Gao, and I have also actively engaged in NLP discussions with Prof. Jason Eisner(Faculty advisor) at the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP). Meanwhile, I have also had the privilege of collaborating with Xingdi Yuan and Prof. Ruoyao Wang at Microsoft Research, Montréal. - In my Undergraduate: I received my B.S. degree in Information and Computer Science and Mathematics from Liaoning Technology University in the 2023 Spring. During my undergrad study, I spent time at the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science and the Institute of Machine Learning and Data Mining, where I was advised by Prof. Wei Liu and Prof.Yu Zhang works in Multivariate Statistical Analysis, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Informatics Theory, Numerical Analysis, and Math Modeling and Optimization Algorithms.
- Professional Industry Activities :
- I am an Visiting Research Collaborator with EACON, focusing on AI agent reasoning for Driverless autonomous fleet coordination decision-making in intelligent mining operations.
- I am also a Co-founder of SpringTeng AI, a startup community based in the China National University Science Park has secured initial support from Government High-Tech Industrial Investment, collaborating with China Energy Zhunneng Group Investment on AI data analysis systems and industrial software applications.
- I am also working with Prof. Fanhui Zeng in the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence Foundations, with a research focus on the mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence.
🤔 Research interest
My research broadly focuses on LLM Agent Reasoning and Evaluation to build language-model agents that can reason, collaborate, and evaluate their decisions more reliably.
My current research centers on two directions:
-
legal AI reasoning: developing and evaluating LLM-based systems for long-document legal reasoning, understanding, and verifiable decision-making benchmarks.
-
Reasoning and Behavior as Agent Harness: studying reasoning dynamics in multi-agent systems, including collaboration, debate, feedback, self-correction, and the influence of model scale on agent interactions.
