ABOUT ME
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Qiaozhu Mei. I am interested in the following:
- Quantitative evaluation of AI systems' innovative ability.
- Reasoning capabilities of AI in non-standard tasks (including but not limited to multi-turn tool-use and video understanding).
- AI agents that assist human researchers to automate scientific research workflows (including but not limited to computer science, neuroscience, and behavioral science).
Prior to my Ph.D., I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics (Minor) from the University of Michigan.
