About Me

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

My life goal is to understand mind/consciousness/intelligence and build the so-called AGI. I believe the critical thing is to keep thinking, learning, and exploring, so I won't limit my research to some particular topics until I find an approach that I truly believe in. 

Currently, I'm focused on reinforcement learning in general. 

Previously I have been working 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.
