About Me

I am a PhD student at the University of Virginia, advised by Professor Lu Feng. My research focuses on developing safe and generalizable Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents.

My academic journey began in pure mathematics, with a focus on Ring Theory, a branch of commutative algebra. Back in the day, I wanted to pursue truths that would persist even beyond the end of humanity. But I came to realize that mathematics, though elegant and powerful, is also built upon axioms and it becomes increasingly abstract. It didn’t feel like the kind of absolute truth I was searching for, even though I love describing math as the language of nature. So, I decided to focus on something useful for this era!

In my free time, I enjoy trying new recipes and napping in a dark room.
