✨ Hi everyone! I am currently an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Service (AWS) Shanghai AI Lab. Before joining AWS, I obtained my Ph.D. (in 2024) from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, fortunately supervised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li. During the final year of my Ph.D. (2023-2024), I enjoyed the privilege of working closely with Assoc. Prof. Pengfei Liu at GAIR Lab, focusing on advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs). Prior to PolyU, I received my Bachelor (in 2017) and Master (in 2020) degrees from Fudan University, mentored by Assoc. Prof. Zhipeng Xie.

🔥 My research interests span Large Language Models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Text Summarization, and Math Reasoning.

🚀 I am always open to new collaborations and engaging discussions. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together or just want to chat!
