About

Hi, I am a CS PhD student at Stanford. I obtained my B.S. (Honors) degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Zhejiang University, where I was honored to be advised by Prof. Fei Wu. Previously, I was a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia and an AGI intern at DeepSeek AI. Before that, I was also a visiting research student at UCLA Scalable Analytics Institute (ScAi), supervised by Prof. Yizhou Sun and Prof. Wei Wang.
