About
Currently an M.Eng. student in TMI, School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo.
My earlier academic training includes a B.S. in Mathematical Economics from Fudan University and a brief period in Georgia Tech's OMSCS program.
Previously, I spent three years working on data-driven growth strategy at a FinTech SaaS company, where I became familiar with and fond of the pace and ambition of startup environments.
Academic Interests
I am interested in how general intelligent systems, from humans to language models, reason; and how such reasoning can be evaluated with care rather than reduced to surface-level scores.
My recent academic work has touched on LLM evaluation, logic-and-NLP benchmarks, and AI systems for scholarly workflows.
