I am currently a Research Engineer in OpenGVLab, Shanghai AI Laboratory, collaborating with Dr. Wenhai Wang. Before that, I received my M.Eng. degree from the School of Data Science and Engineering, East China Normal University in 2025, advised by Prof. Ming Gao and Prof. Xiang Li in X101 lab, and B.Eng. degree at the School of Software, Dalian University of Technology in 2022, respectively.

My research interests include:

• AI Agents: Multi-Agent, OS Agent, GUI Agent, GUI o1;
• Scientific Review: automated peer reviewing, review completion;
• LLMs: inference tuning, domain foundation model, knowledge editing, PEFT.

★★★ Feel free to reach out to me for academic discussions and collaborations!
