About me

I am a senior undergraduate student in the Department of Information Management, Peking University. I am fortunate to work as a research assistant at Wangxuan Institute of Computer Technology under the guidance of Prof. Xiaojun Wan. In Summer 2025, I joined the Stanford SALT Lab as an undergraduate visiting researcher (UGVR), advised by Prof. Diyi Yang.

I believe adaptivity is essential for AI systems operating in real-world settings. My research explores how such systems can adapt (1) to the tasks they solve, (2) the users they interact with, and (3) the social contexts they operate in.

  • Task Adaptivity: Enhancing how LLMs retrieve, select, and structure contextual knowledge to solve diverse tasks reliably.
  • User Adaptivity: Developing interaction mechanisms that allow agents to adapt to users’ evolving goals and preferences over long time horizons.
  • Social Adaptivity: Investigating how social factors shape model decisions to build systems that are socially aware, fair, and unbiased across different demographics.
