What moves with the water at dawn, seeks the mind by day, shapes worlds at dusk, and dreams beneath the stars?

Exploring intelligent agents, human behavior, and complex systems.
I’m a Master of Computer Science student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with an expected graduation in May 2028. I received my B.E. in Computer Science and Technology from Tongji University in July 2026.
My interests lie in agentic AI, human behavior simulation, and the collective behavior of multi-agent systems. I’m particularly interested in building interactive intelligent systems and understanding when language-model agents can reliably represent people and complex environments. My research also explores trustworthy and controllable LLMs, including audits of model unlearning.
Previously, I was a System AI Engineer Intern at NIO, working on autonomous-driving AI systems, path planning, and automated model testing.

A white-box audit of LLM unlearning, using a synthetic private-information dataset and RIG decoding to evaluate whether supposedly forgotten information remains recoverable.
A modular agent architecture for interactive storytelling. Hierarchical prompting, scene orchestration, and turn-based scheduling coordinate agents with distinct behaviors as narratives unfold.
A team-built C++ / OpenGL renderer combining APIC fluids, rigid bodies, and path tracing. My work focused on fluid–scene integration, buoyancy, and synchronizing simulation, physics, and offline rendering.
A hardware game about two characters moving through opposing timelines. Physical input, worldline state, and VGA graphics turn a time-travel idea into a digital system.
Outside research and coding, I row with Illini Rowing at UIUC and previously served as a team leader on Tongji University’s dragon boat team. I also enjoy game development, interactive storytelling, and writing classical Chinese poetry.
