About Me

I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at UC Davis, co-advised by Professor Zhe Zhao and Professor Junshan Zhang. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor degree at The University of Hong Kong (HKU).

I develop generative models that align with human preferences and interactions, mainly focusing on LLM post-training techniques such as reinforcement learning and reward modeling. I also work on retrieving and reasoning over complex relational structures, with applications in recommender systems.
