About Me

I am currently a LLM Algorithm Engineer at Tencent Yuanbao focus on post training. In previous, I was a PostDoc at Duke Kunshan University, reporting to Prof. Kaizhu Huang. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Liverpool in July 2025, supervised by Prof. Qiufeng Wang, Prof. Kaizhu Huang and Prof. Xiaowei Huang. I am also a member in the research group PremiLab-Math, focus on solving math problems with AI. In the future, I will extend my research to Embodied AI. Also welcome to check my bilibili.

  1. Embodied Model Application
    Parcel Grasping for Humanoid Robots
    2025.11 - 2025.12
    Collaborated with FiveAges. Based on the Unitree G1, implemented an end-to-end frame-work for autonomous parcel identification, grasping, and placement. Responsible for training and optimizing the NVIDIA GR00T N1.5 model using teleoperation data and deploying it via SDK on G1.
