I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University, under the supervision of Prof. Xingyu Zhou. Prior to my doctoral studies, I received my B.E. in Software Engineering from Beijing Jiaotong University, where I received invaluable guidance from Prof. Shuaibing Lu.
My research primarily centers on the intersection of machine learning and stochastic systems, with a specialized focus on the following key areas: Reinforcement Learning, Differential Privacy, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and LLM Reasoning.
