I am a PhD student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), starting from Fall 2024. I am honored to be supervised by Professor Yuyu Luo. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the School of Information, Renmin University of China. My research interest primarily focuses on LLM Based Agents, with a particular emphasis on reasoning ablity and the paradigm of constructing agents that are adaptable to multiple environments.
Currently, I’m leading the research team of MetaGPT. We are hiring research interns (Agent, RL, Optimization) and research engineer interns. Feel free to email me to discuss potential collaboration opportunities.
At the same time, i am building a community called MindForge, aimed at bringing together researchers and engineers interested in intelligence to explore autonomous and efficient agents across different environments. If you are interested, feel free to reach out to me.
