Short Bio

Now, I'm a PhD student at USC working with Sven Koenig, Jiaoyang Li, T. K. Satish Kumar and Shanghua Teng. My research is focused on MARL and Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF). I am also interested in MBRL like World Model. 

Before USC, I got my master from CMU RI and worked with Katia Sycara, Jiaoyang Li and Zhongqiang Ren. I received a B.Eng. in Computer Science from ShanghaiTech University in 2020 and worked with Kewei Tu, Xumin He, Sören Schwertfeger. I visited CMU in 2019, advised by David Held and Thomas Weng. I also worked as an SDE in Microsoft AzureStack Team for a year.

I am familiar with traditional data structures and algorithms and have several prizes in NOIP, NOI, and ICPC. My first programming language is Pascal.
