About

Learning to reason,
efficiently.

I study how large language models can learn stronger reasoning abilities from less data and computation.

Biography

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Clemson University, where I work in the CLAIM Lab under the supervision of Prof. Kunpeng Liu.

Previously, I received my master's and bachelor's degrees from Tsinghua University. During my master's study, I worked in the Multimedia Signal and Intelligent Information Processing Lab with Prof. Ji Wu. My recent work focuses on making post-training for large reasoning models more adaptive, stable, predictable, and data-efficient.
