About
I am a 5th-year M.S. Student in EECS at UC Berkeley, fortunately advised by Prof. Joseph Gonzalez. I am currently a part of the Sky Computing Lab and Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) and am interested in LLM memory, agents and post-training.
I completed my Bachelor’s degrees with double majors in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, graduating with the Highest Distinction in general scholarship.
Extended acknowledgment to Dacheng Li for his mentorship on research.
