I am a Lead Research Scientist at MiroMind AI, conducting cutting-edge research in Agentic Foundation Model, including mid-training and post-training. We are actively looking for full-time AI scientist, engineer and intern to work on related topics. Please feel free to drop me an email if you are interested.
I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Jiashi Feng and Bryan Hooi. I have been honored with Google PhD Fellow, DAAD AInet Fellow, and NUS Dean's Graduate Research Excellence Award.
