About Me

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student at Mila and the University of Montreal, advised by Professor Aaron Courville.

My life goal is to understand and build general intelligence. Therefore, my research interest evolves as my belief about the best path toward general intelligence changes. 

Currently, I'm interested in long-range sequence modeling with linear recurrent models, and its application in RL. 

Previously I've worked on learning object-centric representations using structured generative models with Professor Sungjin Ahn at Rutgers University. I also had experience with computer vision when I started my research career in Professor Xiaowei Zhou's group at Zhejiang University.
