Introduction

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I received my bachelor’s degree in Statistics from Renmin University of China.

My research focuses on efficient LLM reasoning, test-time computation, and adaptive multi-agent systems, with an emphasis on decision-making under limited computational budgets.
