I am an incoming master student in Institute of Computational Linguistics, School of Computer Science, Peking University, focusing on AI and NLP. ¹¹ Currently, I am a 4th-year undergraduate in Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University, majoring in Computational and Applied Linguistics, and expected to receive my Bachelor’s degree in 2027.

Currently, I am a member at COOLPKU Lab, Peking University, under the supervision of Prof. Yang Liu. I am also extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sujian Li at PKU-TANGENT Lab in the meantime.

Feel free to find me at GitHub.

⁠Miscs
In my spare time, I enjoy long rides and swimming. I am fascinated by journeys, landscape photography, typography and layout design – everything that helps me explore the world. I find these creative and observational pursuits help me stay curious and bring fresh perspectives to research.

Research Interests

• LLM Interpretability. My recent work centers on Interpretability for post-training, and as a method for (Chinese) linguistics. I have contributed to a parallel Chinese compound–phrase dataset and a multi-dimensional probing framework (EMNLP 2026), the first operational test of whether compounds and phrases follow the same combinatorial principles in Chinese.

• Agent System. I have contributed to a structured representation for agent skills (ICLR 2027, under review), which turns text-only skill documents into artifacts that machines can route and execute.

I am also interested in a broad range of promising research topics.²² I’m a very beginner of Finance (Quanting). I’m also very interested in the field of Robotics and Embodied AI. If you have any ideas or thoughts to share, I am enthusiastic about in-depth discussions and potential collaboration.
