Experience
ByteDance
LLM Algorithm Intern (Jindouyun Talent Program) · Mar 2026 – Present
Focusing on LLM post-training (CT, SFT, RLHF/DPO) and constrained reinforcement learning in complex interactive environments. Researching preference alignment and multi-agent frameworks to tackle hallucination control, reward hacking, and policy compliance in high-stakes game-theoretic scenarios.
Alibaba Group
Research Intern @ Taotian Future Living Lab · Jan 2025 – Mar 2026
Spearheaded research on novel multi-agent collaborative paradigms, emphasizing latent space reasoning and communication efficiency. Designed and optimized Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) pipelines to substantially enhance LLM reasoning capabilities and task-solving performance in complex scenarios.
Tsinghua University
Research Assistant @ THUNLP · Nov 2023 – Aug 2024
Contributed to the ChatDev project and related studies with 32k stars on LLM-based multi-agent systems (especially Croto & MacNet), focusing on cross-agent and cross-team collaboration.
Featured Project

ChatDev & Croto

Pioneering LLM-based multi-agent collaboration. Actively contributed to the development and served as the leader for the Croto branch.
