A brief self-intro

I am a second-year PhD student at King’s College London (2024-2028). I am supervised by Prof. Yulan He and Dr. Yali Du.

My research interests broadly focus on Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning.

I completed a 3-month research internship at Tencent Youtu Lab from August 2025 to November 2025.
