About

I am a final-year Master student at NLPGM Lab @ Wuhan University, supervised by Prof. Tieyun Qian. I obtained my B.Eng. with honors from Wuhan University in 2023. My research focuses on understanding and improving the generalization of AI models during the post-training/alignment phase. Besides, I believe that exploring representation learning is the inevitable path toward next-era intelligence.
