I am a Senior AI Research Scientist at Meta Superintelligence Lab, working on post-training. Side interest in inference system optimization.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2026, advised by Prof. Wenbo Guo, working closely with Prof. Bo Li and Prof. Dawn Song. I received my bachelor’s degree in Statistics from Renmin University of China, where I was advised by Prof. Hongteng Xu.
Previously, I was a founding engineer at Virtue AI, leading large-scale post-training of cybersecurity-specialized LLMs.
