I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Hebei University of Technology, China. Currently, under the guidance of Professor Yang liu, I am pursuing a master’s degree in next-generation electronic information technology at Xidian University. During my master’s studies, I focused on compositional zero-shot learning (CZSL), and have made several contributions to this area.

Currently, I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago, advised by Professor Philip S. Yu. I am a member of the Big Data and Social Computing (BDSC) Lab. My research interests lie broadly in large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI, with a particular focus on agent memory. I am also broadly interested in topics such as agent reasoning, retrieval, learning, and long-term adaptation.
