I am a PhD student at the
General Robotics Lab @
Duke University,
advised by Prof. Boyuan Chen.
I study machine learning for decision-making and discovery. I'm especially interested
in grounding natural signals in the world for scalable supervision, such
as various forms of human feedback and priors embedded in foundation models.
Previously, I graduated from Columbia with an MS degree, where I worked on robust computer
vision models and multimodal learning. I worked with Professor Junfeng Yang, Carl Vondrick, and Shih-Fu Chang and collaborated closely with Chengzhi Mao and Mingyang
Zhou.
Prior to Columbia, I earned my Bachelor's degree at
Nanjing University, China,
where I did my undergraduate thesis on neural image compression, advised by Prof. Qiu Shen.
If you are a Duke master’s or undergraduate student interested in working on human evaluation of
scientific ideas or open-goal navigation, feel free to reach out. Strong ML engineering
skills
and attention to detail are highly preferred.
