I am an Advanced AI Research Scientist Manager at the Accenture Center for Advanced AI, where I work on self-evolving LLM agent training and optimization methods for improving reasoning capabilities.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University, hosted by Prof. Samory Kpotufe, working on the theory of transfer learning and multi-task learning.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 2024, advised by Prof. Mehrdad Mahdavi. Before that, I earned my B.E. in Communication Engineering from Soochow University in 2018.
My research focuses on machine learning from heterogeneous data sources, with interests spanning:
- LLM post-training and self-improving learning
- Transfer learning, multi-task learning and federated learning
- Transferrable Agent Evaluation Method
- Large-scale, minimax and non-convex optimization
