Hi! I am a first-year PhD student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a member of PolyU NLP Group, advised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li. Prior to that, I received my BEng degrees from Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering, South China University of Technology, where I was honored to work with Prof. Ziqian Zeng.

News

[Sep 2024] 🔥 Got one paper accepted by EMNLP 2024!.

Research

I have broad interests in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Embodied AI, including but not limited to the following topics:

• LLM agents. I am dedicated to advancing AI agents to gain powerful reasoning capabilities autonomously.
• Embodied AI. I am interested in developing embodied intelligence for robots, enabling them to self-evolve based on their interaction history.

😀 I am open to collaborations and discussions. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my research or any relevant topics.
