About Me

I am a third-year Master’s student in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), supervised by Prof. Shengnan Guo, and co-advised by Prof. Huaiyu Wan. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Beijing Jiaotong University in 2023.

I am actively looking for a Ph.D. position in reinforcement learning or data mining starting in Fall 2026, appreciate any opportunities!

Research Interests

Intelligent Transportation Systems: traffic signal control
Reinforcement Learning: sim2real reinforcement learning
Generative AI: diffusion models

I am still exploring my research interests in Large Language Models, Autonomous Driving, and Embodied AI. Glad to discuss with you if you are also interested in these topics!

News
