About Me
I am a senior undergraduate student majoring in Software Engineering at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), and an incoming Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University.
My research focuses on general game agents and general game world models. I am now working with Prof. Yiming Li at THUSI-Lab on building agents that can play and reason across diverse games, and I am currently a Research Intern at miHoYo (HoYoverse).
Previous: BIT-DataLab with Prof. Chengliang Chai — label noise learning and pretraining data selection.
Outside of research, I enjoy esports, AAA games, music, novels, and animation. Proud Master-tier League of Legends player. 🎮
