Shanghai, China

I am a PhD student in the Wu Wenjun Honors Class (吴文俊人工智能荣誉博士班) in Artificial Intelligence at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, advised by Yunbo Wang and Xiaokang Yang. Before that, I completed my B.Eng. in Computer Science (IEEE Honors Class) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am currently a research intern at RedNote (小红书), working on large language model post-training.

My research spans LLM Post-training & Embodied Interaction and AI for Physics:

  • LLM Post-training & Embodied Interaction
    • On-policy distillation and reinforcement learning
    • Test-time training and long-context reasoning for LLMs
    • Transferring interaction knowledge from video to physical control
  • AI for Physics
    • Active sensing and world models for continuum field reconstruction
    • Learning hidden physical dynamics from visual observations
    • Adaptive, multi-scale simulation of physical systems
Full publications are available on Google Scholar or Publications (* denotes equal contribution).
Works are organized by topic: AI4Physics, LLM & Embodied AI.
