I am a third-year undergraduate student in Computer Science at University College London (UCL), where I am a member of the SOLAR Group under the supervision of Prof. He Ye. My research interests lie in automated software engineering, agentic systems, continual learning and reinforcement learning. I am currently seeking a PhD position starting in 2027 fall, and I am also open to full-time / new-graduate opportunities in the 2027 fall recruitment cycle. My academic journey has also been enriched by collaborations with Dr. Shilong Liu at Princeton AI Lab and Prof. Sergey Mechtaev at Peking University.

For more details about my background, please see my CV.
