Learning to Learn

Hi, I am a final-year undergraduate student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, where I work with Prof. Benyou Wang. I am also a visiting student at the UC Santa Barbara NLP Group, where I work with Prof. Xin Eric Wang.

My research focuses on building (multimodal) language models and agents that think and behave more like humans, especially in scalable and interactive social environments. [Read More] e.g., Social Simulation (NeurIPS25'), Human-AI Interaction (NAACL25'), Multimodal (ICLR26', CVPR26').

Currently, I am seeking a PhD position (2026 Fall) and internship opportunities. If you are interested in my work or would like to discuss potential collaborations, please feel free to reach out and schedule time with me.
