I am a Member of Technical Staff (Agent Research Lead) at Moonlake AI, working on 3D coding agents. My research focuses on agent evaluation, evaluation-driven agent design, and recursive self-improvement. I’m particularly interested in coding as a universal interface for extending agents’ capabilities from the digital world to the physical world.

Previously, I worked on coding agents at AWS Agentic AI. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Peking University (2023), advised by Prof. Zhouchen Lin, Prof. Yisen Wang, and Prof. Jiansheng Yang. My doctoral research focused on scaling deep equilibrium models to Transformer architectures and large-scale datasets.

Always happy to connect and explore opportunities to collaborate.
