I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, advised by Prof. Xiaoxiao Li. My current research focuses on efficient machine learning, RL post-training for reasoning models, and scalable training systems. Before joining UBC, I worked on 3D scene editing, low-light enhancement, and multi-view learning at the University of Ottawa and Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen.
I am always happy to connect about research collaborations in efficient AI, reasoning, and vision-language systems. Feel free to reach out by email.
