Pronouns: he/him/his. How to pronounce?
I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Heng Ji. I also work closely with Prof. Hao Peng.
I’m interested in developing interactive language agents, such as chatbots and robots, capable of engaging in multi-turn interactions with human through natural language and (both online and physical) environments through programming languages like Python.
I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in computer science and data science. Previously, I was an intern at Google Research (2023), Microsoft (2022), Bytedance (2021), and Tencent (2020).
I am open to discussions and collaborations. Feel free to drop an email if interested :
