I am a Master majoring in Computer Science. I work at Information Retrieval Laboratory of Shandong University, supervised by Prof. Zhaochun Ren and Prof. Shen Gao. I am also fortunate to receive the supervision of Dr. Shuo Zhang.

Previously, I obtain my Bachelor's degree in Shandong University majoring in Computer Science and Technology (graduated in 2023). The Dean of my department is Xiuzhen Cheng.

πŸ“– My current research interests primarily focus on:

  • Tool learning with foundation models (LLM-based agent): build a real-world agent based on the foundation model with external tools to solve complex tasks in the real world.
  • Knowledge discovery: enhance machines with factual knowledge from diverse sources of information and reduce their hallucination.

πŸ”Ž Feel free to contact with me for any form of collaboration.
