I am currently an Assistant Researcher (Yuxiu Young Scholar) in the School of Information Management at Nanjing University, and also a member of the Laboratory of Data Intelligence and Interdisciplinary Innovation led by Prof. Jianjun Sun. I am also a member of the eXplainable Reinforcement Learning (XRL) group led by Prof. Chunlin Chen.
My research lies at the intersection of 🔍 Interpretability, 🧠 Reinforcement Learning, 🤖 Robotics, ⚙️ Machine Learning, and 🧪 AI4Science.
I obtained my Ph.D. degree at Nanjing University in 2024, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Chunlin Chen. I obtained my Master’s degree at the same University in 2020, under the fortunate mentorship of Prof. Chen.
