I am a research assistant at Shanghai Qizhi institute, where I am fortunate to work with Prof. Huazhe Xu at Tsinghua University. Before that, I was a research assistant
at Westlake University, worked with Prof. Donglin Wang.
I received my master's degree from Southwest Jiao-tong University in June 2022, where
I had the pleasue to work with Prof. Peng Guo at Southwest Jiao-tong University and Prof. Yi Wang at Auburn University Montgomery. I received my bachelor's degree from Chengdu University in June 2019.
Research interest
I am currently interested in research on the sample efficiency and adaptation capabilities of deep reinforcement learning algorithms and agents.
My research objective is to create reliable, robust, and efficient algorithms to tackle a diverse range of sequential decision-making problems in real-world scenarios.
I focus on reinforcement learning (especially offline RL) and robotics.
Previously, I conducted research on neural solvers for combinatorial optimization problems, i.e., in the field of AI for Operations Research. These neural agents have the potential to solve NP-hard problems with linear time complexity, see Zhihu.
