I’m a Research Engineer at Singapore Management University, advised by Prof. Qianru Sun. I received my B.S. in Cybersecurity from Fudan University in 2025.
My research focuses on Mechanistic Interpretability, LLM Reasoning, and AI Agents — understanding how language models perform reasoning tasks by reverse-engineering their internal computations, and building efficient and trustworthy specialist agents.
Previously, I was a Remote Research Intern at Peking University with Prof. Liangming Pan, and a Full-Stack Software Engineer at SAP.
